Author: John Steinbeck
Here, in this short book illumined by the deep understanding and love of humanity that have made John Steinbeck one of the most beloved writes of our day is an old Mexican folk story. It is the story of the great pearl; how it was found and lost again. It is a simple story of simple people, recounted with the warmth and sincerity and unrivalled craftsmanship which Steinbeck brings to his writing. It is deeply moving and so beautifully presented that the reader's hope for mankind is rekindled. Of this story of Kino the fisherman, his wife Coyitito and Juana their baby, Mr. Steinbeck himself writes: "As with all re-told tales that are in people's hearts, there are only good and bad things and black and white things, and no in-between things anywhere."

Heaven On Earth
It seems like just yesterday I was saved. Not knowing what to do next or where I should go. Little by little I had to find my way and put together the lessons I was taught from different sources to seemingly lead a holy life. My supreme happiness came from when I found Jesus. Little did I know all I had to do was dwell in his heart and he would provide me with the wisdom I need and show me the things I could only fantasize about. Things like these seemed to me too precious to keep hidden, and that's when I knew I just had to share Who He is to the whole world. Visions, testimonies, miracles and more came knocking at my door leading me into a dose of Heaven on Earth. Blue Roses for My Bride series: Book 1 NOTE I am not a writer, but I do enjoy writing. I learn as I go where writing a book is concerned. So the book has a lot of flaws, typos and words may not be in the correct order. It may be a finished book but there is still lots of work to do on it. It is a draft of my process in writing the book, so please keep in mind that things will be constantly added, taken out or changed until it becomes how the Lord wants it to be. So when you do read it, please let the Lord guide you on discernment and help you to get on the right part with him. Please keep in mind that I am not perfect and I just wanna share the love and goodness of God.
