A specialist in human goodness and recent saints, Patricia Treece offers the fruits of years of research on how God meets the material needs, in varying ways, of his people. Mother Teresa of Calcutta, for instance, refused to let anyone raise money in her name, insisting if God wanted something done through her, he’d send the money. Other friends of God did seek donations and got them in amazing ways. Most intriguing of all, Treece found people living quietly anonymous lives secure in God’s providence. From them she has learned to live that way, too. In this lively book she offers copious examples of ten universal principles to live by so you can join those who know, in good times or bad, God will provide.
“Treece offers multiple examples of saints (both those who have been formally canonized, and those who haven’t) who surrendered control to God — who believed that God would provide what they need, and lived accordingly. And it’s fascinating to read these stories. Some of them are well-known figures, like Mother Theresa or St. Frances Cabrini. Others are some I’d never heard of before, or about whom I knew very little...I especially enjoyed Treece’s chapters on how to cultivate gratitude, retool our minds, and listen for the ‘negative scripts’ that are often operating underneath our conscious awareness, scripts which can be characterized by a critical view of ourselves or others. She encourages the reader to confront these and grow beyond them, learning to trust and believe that God wants what is best for us and that we can trust that the best will come … even if it’s not in a form we may have envisioned at first.” —Ginny Kubitz Moyer, author of Taste and See: Experiencing the Goodness of God with Our Five Senses
