Summary: It was a bit dissapointing
Review: An excellent collection of short episodes that depict the Spirit of God working in people in enery day life. The gift of love and joy that people can give to one another even in times of hardship is the rainbow of life. It is the Spirit of God working in and through people giving and receiving random acts of kindness.

Review: Dorothy is an amazing person but I think the book wasn't exactly fulfilling. It was alright but it was missing something. The stories could have been touching but she didn't really write them meaningfully. The stories weren't really touching even though you knew they were actually. She almost wrote without putting the full spirit of each story into them. She wrote although she were talking, not as a formal piece of writing, which was refreshing, but not totally appropriate.

Summary: Emotionally evocative faith-filled stories
Review: I really liked this book. I knew Dorothy Edererfrom her work at a local parish years past. So when I heard she had written a book , I knew I had to get it. I found the personal stories very moving--I laughed and cried. The chapter lead-in prayers are wonderful, and I have already shared them with friends. The faith the author expresses is an inspiration. I have most of my Christmas shopping done thanks to this book--I have gotten copies for family and friends. A book that made me feel, think, and want to share--what more can you ask for in a book?

Review: It is hard for me to put into words how impressed I am with the writing style of Dorothy Ederer. She has a very special gift of telling stories of experiences in her life and the life of others that have hidden within them profound spiritual truths. I was completely captivated by this book and couldn't put it down. For the past ten years I have confined my reading to spiritual books, books authored by some of the great Christian writers of the past and those of modern times. In my opinion, colors of the Spirit is one of the very best spiritual books I have read in recent years. It's message is simple and at the same time profound. I intend to read it again if I can my wife to part with it. Buy it, you will love it.
