BLOOMFIELD HILLS, Mich., Feb. 28, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Author Deacon Francis G. King, Ph.D., has published his first book, "Indescribable: In Your Will is Our Peace," which teaches Catholics and other Christians about God's truth: His goodness and His love, through quotes from Scripture and teachings of the church and saints.
King explains all of this to readers in an easily approachable manner, through ordinary experiences in life, while challenging them at the end of each chapter to surrender to God.
For the first 50 years of his life, King lived as if God was nowhere. However, he felt God telling him to write this book in 2008, after experiencing divine peace at Medjugorje, a town in Bosnia and Herzegovina known as a place of Catholic pilgrimage since the Virgin Mary allegedly appeared in 1981. King, prompted by the Holy Spirit, was able to identify and focus on what he felt compelled to write.
"We must learn to listen, trust and obey God," King said, while describing his journey to Medjugorje and the Apparition Hill. "Then we can say 'yes' in our mind to God's love and goodness, one decision at a time; in our will to completely trust him, one action at a time; and in our heart to make him number one in our lives, one incident at a time. When we make these small 'yeses' into habitual 'yeses', we surrender the three faculties of our souls to God."
