The Inward Journey for Truth

About the Book

Praying with the Rosary is very different than just saying the Rosary. This becomes a gift for you if you need to feel close to the Creator and close to others whom you love. Every bead becomes a prayer for a person, or for part of the world, or for a family member, or for a political situation, or for church issues, or a prayer for someone who may need the Creator at a precise moment in time. Bring your fears, your doubts, your ego, your questions,your negativity, and your concerns to the One who is the Creator. Bring peace to chaos when you don't know what else to do. See what Jesus did when faced with similar life dilemmas. In the presence of the Creator, praying the Rosary (all four mysteries) or part of the Rosary, is where you can find the truth for your path.

About the Author

Ann Marie Floch grew up in Fields Spring State Park, in the mountains of Wahington State. Her father, Don, was the Park Forest Ranger and her mother, Naomi, and he lived in the house built for the Ranger. As a young girl, yet the oldest of six siblings, she often found herself alone and more isolated from city activity than the experiences of her school friends. Living in the mountains is where she discovered her Creator through the wind, in the trees, and through the people who came to picnic and camp. Ann Marie traveled alone by train at the age of 17 years old, to Minnesota, to go to college. She become a teacher, and later returned to Washington to Gonzaga University to get her Masters Degree to become a marriage and family therapist. She later became a retreat director, a spiritual director, and a Reiki practitioner. She presently is a youth program coordinator at Odyssey Youth Center in Spokane.

Ann Marie uses her poetic talents to grapple with the human story and the human journey in writing The Inward Journey for Truth. Ann has written many poetry books, free hand single copies, for friends as well as multiple poems for any given occasions.

Her greatest joy is her grandchildren who have delighted her heart and kept her young. Ann Marie sums her life with this message, "it's all about being one with everything and everyone. Life is so much easier in Oneness."
