Digging for Diamonds

Are you tired of living on planet shallow?Have you realised that there is nothing super about superficial? If so, then it’s time to get real!What is hidden matters. What you can’t see always shapes what you can see. And this is true for us too. God doesn’t want us to be shallow people, so no matter how impressive (or not) we appear to be, it’s what happens beneath the surface that matters most of all. So, it’s worth digging a bit deeper to find out what is really valuable. Often it is in the hidden and slightly messy places where we find the greatest treasure of all. It’s in the darkness that we often find diamonds.This book looks at 12 different facets of diamonds and the lessons we can learn from them, such as being unique but flawed, being resilient, knowing our value, being transformed and becoming a prism through which transformation happens.Cathy Madavan will in turns make you laugh and make you think.
