Catherine Marshall relates tales from her childhood and marriage to Peter Marshall. Beyond Ourselves is a record of her questioning and journey. Along the way, Marshall offers thoughts on topics such as forgiveness, suffering, miracles, healing and unanswered prayer. Personally, I have absolutely no problem with unanswered prayer – In my relationship with my Dear Father there is no such thing! I talk to my Dear Father and he reveals Himself through my reading of His Book, which he has caused to be written for the purpose of communicating with me. The result is a relationship. Marshall’s journey is a poignant revelation of her authentic search for a meaningful life, a practical faith, and a closer relationship with God. I enjoyed Marshall’s style of writing and her explorations of the life of faith. (5 Shells!!!!!)
