| Publisher Description: Gianluigi Sio resides in Italy, on a small remote island. In this quintessential Italian town, Gianluigi is a blacksmith and carpenter. Living a life in darkness, his lifestyle recklessly sought immediate gratification from an immoral lust for money, among other things. As a committed atheist, he hadn't set foot in a church since the day of his baptism.Then one ordinary day, he saw Jesus. He knows to profess this sight may cause some to think he is crazy, a liar or a complete lunatic. Still, he doesn't care because he found what he had been looking for his entire life-the fountain of living water. He writes his story because he can no longer keep to himself what he saw. It was Jesus. Not only did seeing Jesus change his mind about God, but he also encountered a life transforming love that led him to change from a lifestyle of drinking, dancing and being as he puts is "a thug," to one who now seeks God first in his life. He wants others to know that surely Jesus lives and is the peace, joy and hope that you have been searching for.Readers will be captivated, inspired and humored by his simple book, written to readers as though he was talking to you at a quite caf , sharing an espresso. One can imagine how life was so different growing up on such a small island. Still, technology rules the day and the author advocates disengaging from so much media to learn to live a carefree lifestyle, and to cherish those things that are truly important: God, family, friends and loving your neighbors. His book is written to find those who seem hopeless, lost in aimless wanderings, seeking all the world has to offer, but never finding true satisfaction. He writes to help those who are lost or hopeless, so that they might find Jesus and understand that Jesus never forces belief in Him on anyone. This choice is always of your own free will. But Jesus seeks those with love. His love is what turns the most wretched to repentance.In Gianluigi Sio's fascinating book, he shares how he grew from knowing nothing of God to experiencing a tangible presence of God and how he came to understand the spiritual world that although is invisible, is quite real. He includes prayers, poems and pictures of what he saw. (Note: He does advocate the Catholic approach in religion).This book is written from the heart to let others know, Jesus is alive, and he implores those who do not believe to seek Him, discover Him and discover peace, joy and hope in your life that the world quite simply will never satisfy |
