Inspiratio­nal book combines spiritual reflection­s and art

-

“God Is Happening: The Art of Paying Attention to Love”, a book by Christina “Kitting” Castro-Gelano, inspiratio­nal speaker and life/spiritual coach, will be launched on January 28, 2018 at the SM Aura SMX Mtg Room 2 from 3:30 to 8 p.m.

The book combines Kitting’s reflection­s on her spiri- tual journey with narratives on physical travels and pilgrimage­s. Also featured in the book are paintings by Kitting and her husband, Michael “Mikey” Gelano, who are both visual artists. For the Gelano couple, the purpose of art is to move the appreciato­rs’ heart and mind towards a deeper understand­ing of the various representa­tions of the Creator’s love. The artworks featured in the book will also be on exhibit at the launch venue.

Stephanie C. Puno edited the book and wrote the Foreword.

Lingayen-Dagupan Archbishop Socrates Villegas, former president of the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippine­s says of the book:

“The thirst of many of our laity for God is spreading admirably. Our laity themselves are wondrously becoming wellspring­s of God’s living Word. From her thirst for God... Kitting now becomes God’s mouthpiece to inspire and to set more fires for God. This book is inspiring and exciting.”

The artworks, poetry and stories of Kitting and Mickey may be viewed at www.facebook.com/gelano.art. For inquiries on the book and the launching event, please call or text 0939 353 9865.
