“In A Dream, In The Vision of The Night…”

Hello Friends,

So you have read the Blurb? I am so excited about getting my blog up and running! Literally! I greatly desire my weekly blog to be an inspirational platform. I wish that we may share life experiences to encourage each other with all that is beautiful and wholesome and true.

  I was recently asked by one of my five daughters what inspired me to do a blog about my book and if I would be solely focusing on my book. 

  The Next of Kin delves into many real life issues which the Italian missionary priest, Angelo Marcello Giordani experiences.

His life dramatically and drastically changes the day after his ordination to the Priesthood when his younger brother Michele dies tragically.

  So the answer to my daughter was that Angelo’s extraordinary story will definitely form the backdrop to the many compelling topics we can both discuss and enrich each other.

So are you ready?

  Let’s go straight into the first chapter of this amazing story.  The Blurb explains that Angelo is plagued by nightmares, visions and dreams. The first chapter which is entitled THE DREAM kicks off with a remarkable Biblical quote from The Book of Job.

  I think it’s so profound!

  How important are visions and dreams to you? Do you believe in visions and dreams? Have you had any that have made an impact on you? Have you ever had a dream that changed your life?

  Visions and dreams have always been important to my family. After our morning greeting it is a common thing in my household to say, ‘I had this dream... what did you think it means?’

   Tell me what you think. I certainly can’t wait to hear your comments! Please keep them coming!

 And most of all don’t forget to get yourself a copy of my book.

 Sweet Dreams!

Olivia

The Next of Kin: Blurb

Do the visions and dreams of the night carry warnings to mortal men?

Will the mystical messages contained in Angelo’s dreams herald and usher him towards a powerful and unimaginable destiny?

Angelo Marcello Giordani is an Italian missionary priest whose life is plagued by nightmares, visions and dreams.

THE DREAM. On the morning of his ordination to the priesthood, he has a dream.

Peacefully walking along the seashore in his Franciscan habit, a strange young girl runs frantically after him and calls out to him, addressing him by his full name. She gives him an exquisite white rose and communicates something extraordinary to him. The girl disappears…

Upon waking up, he feels a terrible emptiness. Angelo must now find this mysterious girl, who appears to be so deeply entwined into his destiny – a seeming impossibility.

THE DEVASTATION. The day after his priestly ordination, his younger brother, Michele dies tragically. Angelo’s first priestly duty is to perform the Last Rites to his young brother.

Could the series of personal tragedies, trials and tribulations, which see him flung into far off places like the jungles of Mozambique – and then landing half-dead in Zimbabwe, be the Heavenly design, which would finally link him to this mysterious girl – and unlock…

THE DEVINE DECREE?
