About the Book

Life with its seasons of joy, pain, service and love is the essence of this book. The verses reflect a journey walked in the presence of a loving God. A Time and a Season is a source of inspiration, hope and comfort.

About the Author

This book from Eleanor Nunis comes from her own reflection on the ways life happens to us and the ways we respond and contribute to life. Her family life, her professional involvements in health care, and her own life of faith and her participation with her church community and in other groups all combine to give her an insight into this complexity of 'being alive'.

She has listened well to other people's stories of their journeys through life and illness, suffering and puzzlement, and found, with them, wisdom, consolation and hope.

Reviews

The strength, gentleness and generosity of spirit that is Eleanor Nunis come from her close attention and receptivity to the deepest meaning in her life. This expression of love, relationship and melody is expressed in a cadence of words and rhythms which address her innermost soul, those who are closest to her, the world around her and the Creator who underpins all. For lightness of touch and lightness of soul – this is a lovely book about life, love and the journey of the soul.

"A Time & a Season" is a heartfelt account of the author's life journey so far. Her prose offers an honest insight revealing her devotion towards her faith, family, country and acceptance of the hand that life has dealt her, The ability she possesses to reconcile her own injustices with wisdom and compassion left me inspired.

Dear Eleanor,
Thanks for sending us a signed copy of 'A Time & A Season'. Both of us have read it. Thanks also for allowing us to hijack 6 additional copies from your personal inventory. We know of people in circumstances like those you have encountered. Your responses, your recorded insightful reflections can help to bring to them some meaning, hope and comfort.

Dear Eleanor,
Thank you for your lovely book. I thought it is beautiful, something you can pick up now and again have a look through it. Going to get one of my friend (sic) to play the music on her piano as she plays and is having lessons just to get back into it she's 82 years lovely lady.

Dearest Eleanor,
Your book of poems is most inspiring. I use it in my prayer sessions. It is filled with the Holy Spirit. God bless you for your wonderful effort in bringing others close to Him.
