Emmanuel Deograzia is the pen name of a retired finance and accounting professional who served with the United Nations for twenty years. Born and raised in the Catholic faith, he was introduced to Christian spirituality at an early age through the example and guidance of his parents. During his career, he lived in Manila, Amman, Gaza, Cairo, Rome, and now Las Vegas, and has traveled to thirty-nine countries across several continents.Many of the stories in this book are drawn from the author's own experiences and reflections on encounters with the spiritual realm. His travels also brought him into contact with people from diverse cultures whose true experiences inspired the other accounts shared in these pages.To respect the privacy of family and friends whose lives intersected with his own, he has chosen to write under a pen name. He hopes these stories will speak for themselves and encourage readers to reflect on the unseen dimensions of everyday life and the enduring values of faith, hope, and love.
