A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
?Roma Downey-best known as the beloved angel on the TV show Touched by an Angel-"has created a beautiful and personal testimony to the presence of God in our lives and our world" (Most Reverend Jose H. Gomez, Archbishop of Los Angeles).
Ever since she was a little girl, Roma has seen butterflies as a reminder of God's presence. They have appeared to her in moments when she needed encouragement, reminding her that she is not alone. In this deeply personal book, Roma shares stories from her life, alongside quotes, poems, scripture, and artwork that she prays will uplift you as they have her.
Reminiscent of the message of her popular television series, Touched by an Angel, this book's central theme is that there is a God, He loves you, and that even in your most difficult moments, He is by your side. The subtle butterfly theme reminds us that the wonder of God's love and kindness is sometimes reflected in the gentle whispers of His creation and that we all have the power to transform from simple caterpillars into exquisite butterflies.
This inspirational book invites you to return to its pages again and again, as life brings new challenges, or you find yourself in need of new inspiration. Box of Butterflies "will touch you and move you and strengthen you" (Kathie Lee Gifford).
