A family Trilogy, The Marmolejo saga; and a book of testimonies, describing dreams, visions, and faith.
A testimony of Christian spiritual experiences
Spiritual Reflections
A personal testimony of faith — the dreams, visions, and spiritual experiences that have shaped a life of prayer. Alma shares what she has seen and heard, and what it has meant to walk closely with God.
One family, three volumes — a saga of heritage, roots, and the ties that carry from one generation to the next.
Volume 1 · The Trilogy Begins
The saga begins. A family story about the traits — seen and unseen — that pass from parent to child, and how the Marmolejos come to understand where they come from and who they are.
Volume 2 · The Story Continues
The story reaches back to the family's beginnings — where the Marmolejos came from, the journeys that brought them here, and the roots that still hold the family together.
Volume 3 · The Trilogy Concludes
The trilogy concludes in Cordova, where a dance brings the family together — old stories find new steps, and the Marmolejos celebrate everything that has carried them this far.
