An excerpt from the book:
Introduction
Custom Made By Christ
Michele Bondi Bottesi
Imagine you had an
ancestor who lived at the time of Christ, that your forebear was a neighbor of
the Holy Family, and he had commissioned St. Joseph to make a table. St.
Joseph gave the job to Jesus, who created an exceptionally handcrafted,
unique table of the highest quality materials. Jesus made the table with the
greatest care, and poured tremendous love into His work because He valued the
owner. That table was truly a masterpiece of exceptional quality.
Imagine that His holy Mother had brushed the table
with her mantel many times when she walked into the workshop to bring a cool
drink and a meal to her humble and hardworking Son. As a caring mother would,
she also placed great value on the care that was poured into its creation for
the sake of the owner.
Now imagine that the very same table was passed down
through the years, and at one point it was given to you. Just think about the
significance of having such a priceless treasure in your home!
What would you do with an item of such incalculable worth? Would you
reject it, give it away, try to sell it, or get rid of it? Would you
accept the table from the one who gave it to you? Would you value it,
perhaps have it appraised? How would you treat it?
Would you be proud of the table, and
welcome family, friends, and perhaps even strangers into your home to see something
so priceless? Maybe after seeing you regard it so highly, others would value
the table just as much. Or, would value
the table even more than you.
Actually, you do have
something in your home that was exceptionally well handcrafted by God, is
totally unique, and was made with the greatest care and tremendous love, out of
the highest quality materials. That
which you possess is also valued greatly by His most loving mother!
In fact, every home has an item of
such great significance, and God has placed immeasurable value on His creation.
We must, too.
YOU were created by God, and He
loves and values you beyond measure. Likewise, everyone you know and
everyone you do not know were also created by God, and He loves and values them
beyond measure, too.
Step right on to the battlefield during the
most colossal humanitarian disaster in the history of mankind. The personal stories in God Moments III: True Love Leads To Life take you straight
to the heart of the right-to-life controversy and provide the opportunity to share real life and death situations as they were seen through
the eyes of God, children, and the men and women on both sides of the abortion
debate.
The third book in the award-winning God Moments
Series integrates Catholic Church teaching on the sanctity of life to cultivate
an unconditional respect for the great dignity of the human person, and to
encourage you to trust in God’s judgment and reverence His most perfect timing.
True love leads to
life, and so many other wonderful things!

“God has allowed the plague of abortion, I
hope you will believe me, because of our sins, and don’t change the phenomenal
adjective, because of OUR sins, yours and mine.” ~ Father John A. Hardon, S.J., Sermon on
Abortion
