Box of Butterflies by Roma Downey

Like many other people, I have been a fan of Roma Downey's since her days as Monica on Touched By An Angel. When I saw she was coming out with her new book, Box of Butterflies, I couldn't wait to read it.

Box of Butterflies is as beautiful as it is inspirational. Downey's book is part memoir, part inspiration, and part beauty. Throughout the book, Downey shares some of her personal history and challenges that she has over come to be who she is today. She not only inspires readers through her story, she also shares poems and songs that have inspired her throughout her life. In the midst of her story and the inspirational poems and songs, she also shares beautiful pictures of butterflies and nature throughout the book. Downey also shares in Box of Butterflies how butterflies have a special meaning to her and how they have been a special messenger from God at different times in her life. Her stories and the pictures all work together to create a truly lovely and inspiring book.

I would encourage any fan of Roma Downey's to get a copy of Box of Butterflies. At the same time, I think this book could be real encouragement to someone who is feeling down, who is ill, or need of being uplifted through any difficult life circumstance. Downey clearly has faced difficulties in her life and has kept her deep faith in God. She also tells of her relationship with the late Della Reese and shares part of why their relationship is so special in Box of Butterflies. Reese even wrote the forward to her book before she passed away making it even more special for Touched By An Angel fans. Box of Butterflies will remind you that "God Loves You" and who can't use a little more of that?

I received an electronic copy of this book for review. I was not required to write a positive review in exchange for the book.
