My Life in Temple Terms: A series of essays and vignettes

By Alberta McGeedeBarrow

Alberta McGeedeBarrow survived the cerebral venous sinus thromboses that took her from a regular Sunday church service to the Emergency Room. As she continues to live with this condition, she finds herself increasingly concerned with memory both of her day to day life and the memories of her grand- and great-grandmothers. What lessons would they have liked to leave? What questions would she have asked if she could meet them once more as an adult?For her daughters, granddaughters, and their friends, things will be different. Through this volume of personal stories that are in turn hilarious and heart-wrenching, Alberta broaches topics from the loss of a parent, to sexual assault, to restoration of a soul with the candor of an aunt in privacy and the spirit of a Sunday School teacher. She doesn't look at her life through rose-colored glasses but has learned to revisit her story in "temple terms"-- seeing how God has ordered each piece with purpose for His glory. Nothing is off the table as Alberta walks us from the Outer Court, through the Inner Court, and ushers us into the Most Holy Place where we meet God.
