Excerpt

“Faith is like fuel in an engine. Our soul is the vehicle, and our will is the driver. One can only drive the vehicle if one puts gas in the engine. The driver must pull up to the gas station, get out of the vehicle, and pump the gas. Only then will the vehicle be able to go where it needs to go. Similarly, if we are afflicted by certain difficulties and do nothing about it, we will only be able to go so far until our “gas” runs out. We have to do what it is in our own power to do: fuel our faith, and surrender the responsibility for whatever else happens, to God. Every time we surrender a thought of negativity to our faith in God, we are pumping more gas into our vehicle. Only then are we able to go where we need to go in our life.

Reviews

"Invitation To Believe is as easy to read as a children's book and the meanings revealed are as deep as the ocean. By sharing a journey of self discovery through pain, despair, faith, determination, insight, awakening, love, compassion, acceptance, surrender, wisdom, light and communion with God, Ms. Schelling in a very gentle way calls the reader to find their own heart's treasures. The book was gifted to its author so we could gift it to ourselves and then pass it on."
—Jonathan Granoff

". . . Schelling realized she had to use her faith to change her situation. She delved into the spiritual lessons she had learned during her decade studying with Sri Lankan holy man M.R. Bawa Muhaiyaddeen. Several mystical experiences followed her rational exploration of her beliefs. . . . the author’s sweet and sincere personal encounters with the divine bring the high-minded spiritual concepts comfortably down to Earth." —Kirkus Reviews
