ABOUT THE BOOK
In “Of Life, Love and
Family,” John Tracy Wilson transparently bares his discoveries on building
relationships that are life-changing. This book is for everyone who craves the
richness that comes from knowing your life has meaning. As John says: “Whether
idyllic or defective, relationships are the fabric of life. We are the threads
that determine how the pattern of that fabric will take shape.”
AN EXCERPT
Relationships...they’re
overrated – family, friends, love interests, as well as God. The level of grief
is just too great. Hurt and pain are far more likely to be the abundant yield
than any lasting happiness or joy. Cynical? Maybe – but it’s an easy opinion to
endorse, until you’re brought to the realization that life isn’t really about
our comfort and bliss. Life is all about relationship.
Can I be an integral
piece of the puzzle, a vital part of the master plan?
Does my life even have
enough significance to make a difference?
Are relationships really
worth it, or is it all fallacy?
Is a relationship with
God essential to my happiness?
Does God want to know me
on that intimate of a level?
Relationship is what we
were created for. There’s more at work here than feeling light and fluffy –
having everything laid out nice and neat. Quoting a lyric from one of my
songs:
Plans were laid before
we were made; we’re not some cosmic brew
There’s more at stake
from the ripples we make, than simply passing through
I haven’t always
believed the things I will ask you to consider. Through the years many of my
relationships haven’t reflected an image of anything close to perfection. But
EVERY relationship, from the one beginning first with our creator God to those
that are tangible, holds the purposeful task of being a quintessential layer of
who WE will become. Likewise, we also aid in the make-up of who OTHERS may
become while we impact and contribute to their foundation, shaping their design
as our lives intersect on the way to our completion. Whether idyllic or
defective, relationships are the fabric of life. We are the threads that
determine how the pattern of that fabric will take shape.
