Overview

A Greek Promise is an inspiring account of how God still calls ordinary people to do extraordinary things. The many miraculous events are intertwined with endearing descriptions of the delights of Greek life that have produced popular Greek based books by other authors. This unusual combination sets the scene for this true story, providing a delightful adventure for believers and sceptics alike. Courage, faith, compassion and a child-like dependence on God's provision form the backdrop to this enchanting Greek island, modern day epistle. The story relates the most amazing events which defy any explanation other than that they were determined and controlled by the actions of an Almighty God. The first book in this Greek Life series, To Greece and the Distant Islands, relates the fascinating events which first led an English business woman in her late thirties, to leave home and move to live a simple life in Greece on the island of Paros. Many of the readers of that book asked, ""But then what happened?"" It is in answer to this question that this second book has been written including events up to the present day. The book is an inspiring Christian biography which includes many outstanding miracles of healing and God's provision.

The author of a Greek Promise gives a wonderful account of her simple but idyllic life on a Greek Island. Set on the island of Paros which I have visited many times her description of her Greek life is enthralling. I can almost hear the sea lapping at my feet and smell all the wonderful aromas of wild herbs from the local hills and the Greek food from the local Taverna's. Her stories of her own trials and tribulations entwined with miraculous healings and provision from God for both herself and the people she prays with may challenge your beliefs. If you are already a Christian as I am, you will find the book inspiring. If you are questioning whether there really is a God then it may just set you on a new and exciting adventure of discovery.
