The LAND OF
MORE Trilogy
In
the first
book: JOURNEY
After a joy filled lifetime as an
evangelical
missionary, author, minister's wife, publisher, and radio broadcaster, and already in advanced years, the farthest thing from Leona's mind was to make any faith paradigm shift. An unexpected encounter with a respected long time ministry friend who did just that was to eventually challenge her faith trajectory. She determined to explore that friend's faith journey in order to refute it. In this book, Leona chronicled her initial questions, misconceptions, presuppositions, and
surprising discoveries about the Catholic Church. In the process, she weighed the consequences this JOURNEY could
bring her if she was persuaded of its truth. After four years of intense historical research, biblical study and prayer, she felt God's leading at the age of 80 to be received into the Catholic Church
which
she calls The Land of
More .
The
second book: TREASURES
A
natural sequel to the first, endeavors to answer the
question:
What were her first
few years
like as a new Catholic Christian? The
short
answer is that they launched Leona into a still greater fruitful,
active, and
exciting season of spiritual discovery, relationships and
ministry.
Did her advanced age keep her from enjoying the new TREASURES? How did she square it all with the Scriptures? Did she have to leave behind her entire
lifetime
evangelical backpack of already acquired precious treasures? How did she deal
with
the cross-cultural adjustments in her new Catholic world?
How has she "bridged" relationships with a lifetime of evangelical friends and coworkers? What was
the mother lode of treasure she found, and all the other
gold nuggets
spilling out of the spiritual treasure chest of the Church?
In
her third book: FLOURISHING
Leona discovered STILL MORE!
She shares her
overall experiences while living as a Catholic Christian
into her
nonagenarian years. Our vintage season or as Leona calls it, our "summit years," is normally packed with adjustments and struggles unique to that period of life. In her Catholic faith lived out, Leona found gems of joyous truth shining even more brilliantly in the Scriptures. She was encouraged to endure and persevere until mortal life's finish line. "Flourishing" is not the usual way many people think of the calendar challenge. But Leona does! As the climb to the summit becomes steeper, she shares insights with her readers which help make the aging journey's "rough places smoother" and the "crooked places straighter."
These
books
will challenge someone who thinks he or she is too old
to
change. We are on solid ground if we are
willing to explore firsthand the authentic historical and
biblical facts for ourselves. Our faith can be refreshed as we
rediscover
STILL MORE about the
precious treasures of God's Truth
that we might be taking for granted.
