Book Details

Peace is Remembering Without Pain

Author C. Lynn Moriarty has written about living with alcoholism in Rainbows of Joy and found her courage at Wakonda Prayer house in Griswold, Iowa where it began her quest for serenity. This book chronicles her journey of paddling upstream with a continuation of her Catholic Faith weaving itself throughout these pages.


In her book Rainbows of Joy from a Diary of Despair, the author learned to find the good in what was wrong in her world. Despair is a result of too much concentration on worldly things. The 'Rainbows' are found by the Children of the River Paddling Upstream with Courage, who are seeking spiritual solutions to worldly problems.

 

Book Excerpt

"In our pilgrimage of striving to become a saint, the finding of a quiet time for reflection must be a part of the process. God cannot speak to a soul that is seeking ways to  block out His voice."
