Summary: Experiencing a "God Gap" ....
Review: In her book The Kiss of Heaven Darlene Zschech describes this kiss as heaven touching earth, "when someone's life is totally and miraculously turned around through coming to relationship with one's Creator." "Your breath of life has overwhelmed me And set my spirit free. Your love is immeasurable, Too deep to comprehend. I'm living in the embrace of heaven, and I'll never be the same again." (excerpt from "Kiss of Heaven") After the birth of her first daughter, Darlene felt this kiss of heaven, this awareness that "the supernatural" had brought her to this place in her life. She tells her personal story of conversion from insecurity, inadequacy, intimidation and struggle against God, to find herself and her dream in His own gift of music. "I always wanted to believe in my heart that He could shine through me, but it took a while for me to understand that it was even possible," she says. Now, traveling the world over to lead praise and worship among God's people, sharing her awareness of His presence, and His delight in each person's individuality she "can almost feel the longing in God's own heart as He searches for individuals who believe in Him and will let Him do His loving work within them. If anyone wanted or needed a book to lift them out of depression or call them into new hope; if anyone's faith felt lukewarm or "malfunctioning;" if anyone is living in what she calls the "God Gap," Darlene Zschech's The Kiss of Heaven might be that book. "It's not all about you" she says, and goes on to show the working of God's gift of His Word to give life in each situation of her life. "God has something wonderful He would like to do through each of us to bring hope to the human condition. He blesses us to be a blessing to others, as God told Abraham. Her book could well be a "kiss of heaven" for the reader willing to enter into the haven (sic) of God's Word. --- reviewed by Sis. Mary Rose O'Connell for Christian Bookshelf
