Maria Luisa J. Edwards's new book, “The Love and Power of God: Missionary Experiences in the Jungles of Ecuador,” invites readers on a profound journey into the heart of missionary life amidst the verdant depths of Ecuador. The book, released on August 3rd, 2023, is a deeply personal account that reflects on the power of divine love and the remarkable resilience of the human spirit.
Born from the author’s long-cherished dream of spreading the Good News, Maria Luisa’s narrative is a mosaic of touching stories and personal revelations. Her accounts are drawn from a life dedicated to service, both as a missionary and later as a Religious Education Director for various Catholic Churches in California. Edwards's experiences offer a unique glimpse into the lives of those who, despite having the very least, exhibit an extraordinary capacity for generosity and faith.
The book's heartfelt stories are a reminder of the innate goodness within all people and the power of God's Word to inspire and transform lives. This book isn’t just about Maria’s experiences; it’s a mirror reflecting the incredible strength and faith of those she’s had the privilege to teach and who, in turn, have taught her about the true nature of God’s love.
Her tales range from the harrowing to the miraculous, including the poignant story of a village of women who rallied to support a grandmother battling cancer and the family who, already with seven children, opened their hearts and home to an orphan. These stories do not just relate to experiences; they are an invocation for readers to discover their own journey of faith and to be open to the miracles around them.
“The Love and Power of God” is not only a memoir but also a clarion call for compassion and an exploration of the deep connection that binds us when we open our hearts to the divine. Through her book, Edwards hopes to inspire others to seek a profound relationship with God, just as she and the people she met in the jungles of Ecuador have done.
Available today on Kindle and in paperback on Amazon and Barnes & Noble. This inspiring book is poised to touch hearts and awaken a renewed sense of faith in the goodness that dwells in every human being.
