Synopsis

Clinical psychologist Sandra Shaw Dawood, Ph.D., shares her heartfelt and playful communication with God through the symbols He has provided her. Through wordplay, poetry, and autobiographical excerpts, she exposes her struggle to turn negative thoughts and events into positive healthy thoughts by her interpretation of God's symbols that are just for her. Dr. Dawood delves into everyday events and creates meaningful interpretations of what she sees and experiences as being symbols from God to assist her in the daily rigors of life-these are her Eye Statements from God. She has developed her own symbols that bring her particular joy in her relationship with God. She recognized many patterns throughout her life in positively overcoming tragedy, abandonment, fear, pain, and depression.
