Comment. Henry
Carolyn is a very readable author. Her honesty and vulnerability is refreshing. Her insights are ‘simply profound’. The comments of endorsements are very strong and help us understand where this author is coming from. An inspiring read.

Carolyn writes very personally about her spiritual life. There is not an area of her life that is not touched by her ‘biography’. Her stories are chronological and even her childhood experiences are rich in recognizing and dealing with the tension of faith and doubt regarding spiritual matters. Honesty and vulnerability are very refreshing ingredients in Carolyn’s story. She places truth in perspective that makes it accessible and relevant. “Provocative, stirring, emotional, and true, Wrestling With Angels, leads us to the place where hard truths and holy secrets intersect.” Lorilee Craker. The endorsements are generous and numerous. A very readable heartwarming presentation.
