The God Box: Sharing My Mother's Gift of Faith, Love and Letting Go
After her
mother passed away, Mary Lou went searching for the God Box. But rather than
one box, Quinlan found 10 containers stuffed with hundreds of origami-like
folded papers. Covering the last 20 years of her mother's life, the notes
contained a treasure of brief prayers for family, friends, and people she had
never even met. Note by note, Quinlan discovered the greatest lesson her mother
could the importance of letting go in order to live. Poignantly written
and beautifully designed, The God Box is a gift for every parent, ever son or
daughter, every person who trusts in the permanence of love and the power of
prayer.
