“I was a uniquely designed individual who happened to feel sometimes like a black sheep, but would, no matter what, continue climbing other mountains with God’s blessing and God’s covering.”
ABOUT THE BOOK
From the first page to the last, this book is far from ordinary for it is bluntly honest and the author is not afraid to write about the “tough stuff”.
Your beliefs and traditions will be shaken and challenged by the somewhat “unorthodox” and yet, honest description of an extraordinary spiritual journey.
You will be asked, at times, to journey far and wide into a mystical world where visions and dreams are now as they were from the beginning of time. You will feel, at times, as if you were led by the hand across two vastly different continents and forced to navigate across two very different and often contradictory religious and social systems.
The extraordinary tales you will discover will force you to consider whether the God who parted the Red Sea and led the Israelites into the Promised Land is still today as he was yesterday is today and will be tomorrow… It will force you to explore the possibility that miracles, dreams and visions are and should still be accepted as norms in the midst of a technological world and a church now mostly void of heavenly mysticism.
The author did not seek her life and death situations that seem to have been her faithful and yet unwelcome companions of her earthly sojourn and existence but as the Subaru commercial says so well, she survived…!
Being a truly analytical French woman, brought up in the midst of a culture where existentialism was an alternative religion, it seems impossible that she would ever acknowledge the presence and the existence of a supreme being. And yet, from the moment of her first breath, He kept on “religiously” and patiently seeking her heart.
As the book “Across the Clouds” will show you, the author somehow knew, from an early age, that she was made to know God and know Him intimately.
Being an artist made it not only possible but also probable that she would approach and perceive life intuitively! How could she not be aware of God’s presence, as she grew up surrounded by majestic mountains crowned with snow and glaciers?
But as you will discover, the God of mountaintops is also the God of crevasses and treacherous valleys where the author found Him to be always ready and willing to offer her a helping hand.
Towering mountains were the place where her soul learned to breathe and whisper His name.
Crevasses and dark valleys were the place where her soul learned to trust Him and know Him to be faithful, in the midst of her fears and her many tears.
This book is not really about her but about the One who created her and loved her from the beginning of time.
It is about His faithfulness when everything around her seemed to fall apart.
It is about Him being her place of safety in the midst of the many dangers she faced throughout her life.
It is about Him loving her, knowing her and calling her name across the clouds.
It is about seeing the Holy Trinity working together, in perfect harmony in the life of a small French woman who dared to believe in the impossible and the extraordinary…
