Description
Towards the Promised Land is a collection of short stories, poems and personal reflections based on the real-life experience of the author, Enza Di Franco Russo, and the people who have shared her journey.
She tells the story of her spiritual journey towards God and wholeness, from her childhood years in Italy to her later years in Australia. Her journey reflects that of many migrants as well as the People of God in the Scriptures. It is from these Sacred Texts that she gains nourishment and insight for her own journey.
Her story reveals that God, who is our final destination, is also with us and for us on every stage of our human journey towards the Promised Land.
