Many readers would be able to identify with her story, if they received a religious upbringing in their childhood only to find in adulthood that it had little effect on their lives. In the face of all the secular values that surround us today, her story could be helpful, in fact even inspiring.
In an engaging way, she describes her childhood and early upbringing in India before she came to Australia. She came from a practicing Catholic family and accepted her Catholic faith unquestionably, but it did not go deep. She attended Mass regularly but it was more out of habit than conviction. Gradually she felt something was missing, as her daily struggles left her exhausted and unsatisfied.
A friend introduced her to the Bible through a popular publication called “Our Daily Bread”. Reading the Word of God led her to feel acutely the presence of God in her life. She turned to Jesus for guidance and started to see and trust the Hand of God. She noticed small “miracles” appear in her life and the hidden action of God which she speaks of as “Jesus in Disguise”.
Mariette’s faith suddenly came alive in a manner that can truly be called a spiritual conversion. She writes in an attractive style which will lead readers to think seriously about her inspirational message.
