Box of Butterflies: Discovering the Unexpected Blessings All Around Us Kindle Edition
Roma Downey—best known as the beloved angel on the TV show Touched by an Angel—“has created a beautiful and personal testimony to the presence of God in our lives and our world” (Most Reverend José H. Gomez, Archbishop of Los Angeles).
Ever since she was a little girl, Roma has seen butterflies as a reminder of God’s presence. They have appeared to her in moments when she needed encouragement, reminding her that she is not alone. In this deeply personal book, Roma shares stories from her life, alongside quotes, poems, scripture, and artwork that she prays will uplift you as they have her.
Reminiscent of the message of her popular television series, Touched by an Angel, this book’s central theme is that there is a God, He loves you, and that even in your most difficult moments, He is by your side. The subtle butterfly theme reminds us that the wonder of God’s love and kindness is sometimes reflected in the gentle whispers of His creation and that we all have the power to transform from simple caterpillars into exquisite butterflies.
This inspirational book invites you to return to its pages again and again, as life brings new challenges, or you find yourself in need of new inspiration. Box of Butterflies “will touch you and move you and strengthen you” (Kathie Lee Gifford).

This book is part memoir with poems, quotes, songs, prayers and verses interspersed with the stories. You will learn many things about Roma Downey's journey that will surprise you. She did not just become an overnight success, she really worked hard to become who she is today. There were many trials and tragedies that she had to face and overcome. So no matter who you are, there is something you will relate to on the human level. Some of the wisdom she imparts may subtly shock you into a place of awareness.
4% into this book my eyes were wet with tears because of the beauty of Roma Downey's message of hope in our times of struggle. I felt like she was talking to me as if she knew I'd be reading this book. How powerful and comforting are her words. This is a woman who has a relationship with God and she is willing to share this side of herself with the world.
One of the stories I really enjoyed was the one about how Diogo Morgado became Jesus in The Bible miniseries and Son of God movie. I have watched the Jesus movie so many times and have given it as gifts to my friends and family. Roma Downey plays Mary in the movie and is very convincing as the mother of Christ. I also enjoyed hearing how she got her first real break on Broadway. It proves that if you are faithful and keep working at life, you will be discovered and live your purpose.
If this book shows up in your life and you are intrigued by the cover as I was, then you are destined to read it. You will learn a lot about love and gratitude. Along the way you may even laugh at some of the cute things in this book. I completely enjoyed this book and to me it was like spiritual food for the hungry earth traveler. We may not be home yet, but we can encourage each other while we are here. Now when I see butterflies all over my house, I will think of Roma Downey's stories.

I laughed , I smiled, and I cried!
“Real beauty is from the heart”, Ms. Roma Downey writes, and that is a perfect way to describe this book.
With a stunning heart and an amazing mission, she eloquently shares her powerful testimony of faith and the life struggles that led her to her own stories of hope and triumph.
Her book is filled with beautiful illustrations, Bible scriptures, quotes and poems from various authors .
Ms. Roma Downey speaks of Him with such gentleness, with a great sense of hope and deepest gratitude. You can feel her compassion through the beautifully illustrated pages , and her love for the Lord is so moving. Her journey is powerful, positive, inspiring and an incredible spiritual platform for anyone who is in search of a deeper relationship with the Lord. She writes, “You are not alone!”
Her mission is so relevant in today’s world, in a time of so many struggles where much spiritual guidance is needed.
“Box of Butterflies” will not only change many lives but it will also serve as a great catalyst to a powerful spiritual movement bound to bring many people even closer to God. It will touch your soul and it will make you love the Lord even more; you will be moved to tears!
It was so very special to be personally blessed by it and to feel aligned with my own sense of purpose , through Ms Roma Downey’s mission.
“Box of Butterflies” is a wonderful spiritual point of reference and a precious reminder of Him. It is a must
read!!!
Box of Butterflies is as beautiful as it is inspirational. Downey's book is part memoir, part inspiration, and part beauty. Throughout the book, Downey shares some of her personal history and challenges that she has over come to be who she is today. She not only inspires readers through her story, she also shares poems and songs that have inspired her throughout her life. In the midst of her story and the inspirational poems and songs, she also shares beautiful pictures of butterflies and nature throughout the book. Downey also shares in Box of Butterflies how butterflies have a special meaning to her and how they have been a special messenger from God at different times in her life. Her stories and the pictures all work together to create a truly lovely and inspiring book.
I would encourage any fan of Roma Downey's to get a copy of Box of Butterflies. At the same time, I think this book could be real encouragement to someone who is feeling down, who is ill, or need of being uplifted through any difficult life circumstance. Downey clearly has faced difficulties in her life and has kept her deep faith in God. She also tells of her relationship with the late Della Reese and shares part of why their relationship is so special in Box of Butterflies. Reese even wrote the forward to her book before she passed away making it even more special for Touched By An Angel fans. Box of Butterflies will remind you that "God Loves You" and who can't use a little more of that?

Lots of little things to challenge you and catch and take for the day.
Wow....she was on my favourite tv show and so glad I got the book. I read it on the iPad but wanted the real book version for the pictures and the poems that she shares......so well worth the price.
