Rubem Alves

I just finished a book by Rubem Alves called "Perguntaram-me se acredito em Deus" ( Someone asked me if I believed in God). As a teacher and someone who loves the magical power of words, I've always looked up to this amazing man who comes from Minas. If you ever run into this book, it's worth the journey! He uses a story teller to interpret some passages of the Bible and the interaction we silently and uniquely have with the God we carry in our hearts. He shapes it all beautifully, full of love, life, hope and poetry. I just have to be thankful to have such a wonderful writer and educator lightening up my steps all these years. God bless his work and his gardens spread all over Brazil in people`s hearts and souls!
