CRANSTON, R.I., May 20 /Christian Newswire/ -- Author, Edna Falciglia Panaggio shares how she turned to the knowledge of God, invited Him in, and was born again John 3:3. She believed in Jesus Christ as Savior John 3:16. "I thank Him for connecting me with people whose grief, tears, anxiety and pain I can help lessen through my introduction to His teaching and love." (Preface)
After baptism, the book recounts how God recognized that she would become a vessel and serve Him. Her companion on the journey, He used her gifts as an actress, musician, and care-giver to His Glory.
Twenty eight years later she found her journal would produce Fiddling Through The Wilderness naming it for the more than 20 musical performances of Fiddler On The Roof as Golde.
She relates with joy as she relives a few of her vignettets and epilogs.
How she helped three men in prayer prepare for their peaceful deaths, one elderly Jewish man, a lawyer friend using other people's money, and one of her co-actors, Tevye, a drop out seminarian who died of AIDS. She spoke to an audience proving to Oprah Winphrey in the 1980's TV talk show, People Are Talking in Baltimore, MD, how love relates to money, referencing her divorce. A scary flight over the CA mountains in an ice storm finding partners for open prayer in a commuter plane carrying 30 people. Her trust that God had sent angels in the form of past drug addicts to repair and prepare her property for sale. Her short encounters with Steven Spielberg, Gregory Peck, Danny DeVito and Dane Cook.
God held true to all of His promises wrapped up in a Divine Package. A grandmother's purposeful and evangelical 28 year journal enriched with unconditional love and humor.
As an author, she has received the Presidential Award for Literary Excellence through the National Author's Registry, and the Merit Award through the International Society of Poets and at age 82, she is still on her eternal journey.
