A propos du livre

Biographie de l'auteur :

Pam Carlquist is a contemporary author, presenter and motivational speaker. She also teaches writing and literature courses through the Osher Institute at the University of Utah and travels extensively, sharing the messages of this book with others. But she is so much more than that. Here is her bio in her own words: When writing a biography, how does one truly answer the question: Who am I? I could say I write books and poetry, teach literature and writing courses part-time at a university and conduct writing and meditation workshops. I could add that I speak at conferences about my book, myself and other things. I travel on business and for fun, with my most recent ‘fun’ trips including a trek, river rafting adventure and jungle safari in Nepal, a vacation to Hawaii, a visit with my son and his girlfriend in Canada, a whirlwind tour of New York City, a hike into the depths of the Grand Canyon and two 10-day silent meditation retreats just outside of Yosemite and Sun Valley, respectively. I run, hike, bike, ski, garden and dance. I love life. Or I could speak about how I feel—I’m happy, happier, I think, than I’ve ever been. I’m leading the life I’ve chosen, doing the things I love and being, for the most part, the person I want to be. I still, of course, have much to learn, do and become, but I’m excited about that, all of it. And I could write about who I’ve been—the mother of two incredible human beings, the former wife of a dear friend, the partner or former partner of some wonderful men who have added—and still add—joy and blessings to my life; the author of one published book and the soon-to-be author of two others; a presenter, life coach and motivational speaker. But no matter what I say, most of who I am still remains a mystery even to me, for it resides in the secret chambers of my heart; and even I have only occasional glimpses of it now and then—when I look into the eyes of my sons and see their goodness, for example, or when I dance or ski or laugh with the people—or pups—that I love; or when out in nature I feel the power and pulse of every living being within my soul. My greatest achievements are not my books or classes or titles or trips but the love I share with others and the desire I have to make a little bit of difference somehow in this whole, huge, turbulent, beautiful world.

Présentation de l'éditeur :

How does one deal with the pain of divorce, with death, with poverty, with violence, with the everyday problems of life, she wondered. So, she asked... One early morning just nine months after she and her husband of 27 years had separated, Pam Carlquist inadvertently began a dialogue that would change her life forever. In a moment of desperation, she sat down with pen and paper and cried out to God for help. To her surprise, she received an answer, a response so comforting and so wise that she continued the correspondence for over a year, indeed forever more. The answers, though not what she had expected, launched her on a journey of healing and love. This is a book that explores the essence of loss and that poses questions we all have asked. How does one fill the holes that become an inevitable part of one’s life? How does one find joy in the midst of pain? How does one tap into the remarkable resource of the human spirit to rise above adversity, fear, even death-- and triumph? The audience for this book includes all who question but, in particular, those involved in relationship breakups, those seeking peace in the throes of separation, those wishing to move at last past the pain... of divorce, death or any parting of lives once joined. Moving With God PAST THE PAIN of divorce, death or any parting of lives once joined is a memoir, self-help and spiritual book. _______________________________________________________________ "I have read this book twice now and find it to be riveting, revealing, intimate and inspired. Some questions were those I have asked a God that I wasn't sure existed, while the answers were more thoughtful than anything I have ever read." -Dick Maben, entrepreneur
