Marcy Keefe-Slager's relationship with God began with her family and the Catholic Church. She went to a convent at the age of fourteen and began what would become a long and fruitful life serving the Lord. Her lifetime devoted to God has seen its share of trials, tribulations, and jubilations, all of which have inspired her to pour her deepest beliefs and thoughts into poems to express her spiritual journey. These poems depict some of that journey, and these words are those of her soul. A surprising collection whose depth and fervency of belief provide tranquility, peace, and solace, Keefe-Slager's poetry is an uplifting, inspiring expression of the exhilaration provided by her relationship with God. Exploring the innermost corners and pockets of her soul, Keefe-Slager delivers a thought-provoking rumination down the pathways of such topics as: God's call, building the Kingdom, meditations, life's journey, living with cancer, an invitation to a response, love of the Catholic Church, and God calling women to ordination as priests. An unusual life filled with wonders, challenges, and ministering with people of differing faiths helps to bridge the understanding between them. Hers is a message of harmony, good will, and unconditional love. A catalyst for God's will and His Word, her poetry is to be savored. It is a calming voice that will unfold within like the spreading, loving warmth of the Holy Spirit. Unquestionably autobiographical and uncompromisingly devout, Keefe-Slager delves deeply into what it involves to give oneself up to a higher power. Her fearlessness is a comforting glow of recognition, a voice that beckons for all to follow, be warmed by, and learn from. For those courageous enough to explore the deepest recesses of their hearts and bear witness to the experiences of others as they travel through life, there is no better place to start than with An Echoing Call.
