5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful, extremely touching book of the soul., 30 Jun 1999
By A Customer
Gift of the Red Bird, a Spiritual Encounter, reads like a journal from Paula D'Arcy's life. On August 18, 1975, on a return trip home to Connecticut, Paula's car was struck by a drunk motorist. Her daughter, Sarah, died of head injuries on August 20, and her husband died three days later from a ruptured spleen. Paula was alive and three months pregnant with her second baby daughter, Beth. For this reason, she went on living.

Gift of the Red Bird tells of a story of extreme loss and ache, of searching for answers, of making sense out of the pain, and of looking for some light in the darkness.

This is Paula's journey, and when she goes on a wilderness retreat -- where it's just her, God, and nature -- she begins to get some comfort for her wounds.

A deeply moving narrative, this book may be short, but the message is deep and lasting. It's a journey well worth taking for anyone who has ever had a tragedy hit their lives where they've had the same questions.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Red Bird is a guide to spirituality., 26 Sep 1998
By A Customer
After spending the weekend at Laity Lodge with Paula as a guest speaker I have purchased three copies to give as gifts. Paula is a gifted communicator. She has done all the work for us in our pilgrimage of life providing us a map to follow to ease our troubled existence. The red bird appeared all weekend!

4.0 out of 5 stars It Helps If You Like Birds, 7 Feb 2003
By Peter Kenney (Birmingham, Alabama, USA) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
Paula D'Arcy gives a very detailed description of her journey in search of God following a terrible tragedy in her personal life. The pilgrimage is long and filled with peaks and valleys. Paula is tested but she survives to write a remarkable tale of how she comes to know God in a deep and intimate way.

The reader's enjoyment is enhanced by Paula's excellent writing. It also doesn't hurt if you like birds and the outdoor life.
