Stones of Remembrance

Raquel Reyes Major has been walking with God for over eight decades, taking His word to heart, committing her life to Him, and trusting that He was always there, even when it seemed like He wasn't.In an inspirational retelling of her life journey, Major begins by sharing insight into how she first came to know God through Jesus Christ at an early age, and then chronicles her experiences as a young missionary teacher in a Muslim area in the Southern Philippines, her emigration to the United States, her leadership as a pastor s wife and missionary who served God in Indonesia and Germany, and then her work in government and with politicians in the San Francisco City Hall. Throughout her stones of remembrance, Major relays beautiful stories and life lessons that candidly reveal how she met the challenges of her varied experiences by drawing strength, direction, and wisdom from her faith in God. A beautiful tapestry of one life unveiled, revealed. Through the author s simple, powerful, picturesque words, we see glimpses of her keen eye, understanding heart, thoughtful musings, and an unswerving faith and love for the living and personal God.
