The Paradox of Providence

By Val Pauquet

A Journey of Coincidences and Divine Appointments.

The Paradox of Providence invites us into the remarkable, textured story of Val's life. From her childhood years in Johannesburg, to her often humorous attempts at being a good hausfrau in Germany, and to her front row seat at many of the pivotal moments that have shaped South Africa over the past 50 years. - Dr Garth Japhet, Heartlines

"I warmly commend Val's memoir to you. Reading it will help you gain a unique understanding vouchsafed to few others. You will also be motivated to press on in safeguarding the Great Miracle God gave South Africa back then and which we dare not throw away."
Dr Michael Cassidy Founder of African Enterprise

"Val's book gives unique insights into the interface between Government, business, and the Faith Community at the time of South Africa's transition to Democracy."
Kim Ballantine Psychologist, Life Coach and author of Hot Tea & Apricots

"I recommend this book to everyone who strives towards peace and the furtherance of moral values in our country."
Dr Antonie Gildenhuys Chairperson of the National Peace Secretariat
