What Others Are Saying About
“The Making of a Dragonfly”
The Making of a Dragonfly: Following Christ Through the Winds of Change
The dragonfly on the cover of this well-designed book draws you immediately into the subtitle, “Following Christ through the winds of change.” Everyone has change in their life and can easily identify with the journey author Mary Ethel Eckard has taken from brokenness to a life of destiny and purpose. The layout of the inside pages is well done with subtitles and each chapter includes a section called Following Christ. The book uses Scripture as well as storytelling to get across the message of this book. It is a thoughtful, well-done book and a perfect fit for the Christian nonfiction category. W. Terry Whalin, Next Generation Indie Book Awards Judge
Book Review by Hearts Blessing Website
An excerpt from the book review by Hearts Blessing, a website about the stages and lessons of midlife crisis:
“Mary’s story is a must-read for people who are suffering from broken hearts and wondering where God is during this time. I can tell you from direct experience that He’s right there with you, just like always. I recommend the book because this is a good self-help book that tells Mary’s story in transparency and truth. She reflects the life’s lessons she’s learned, while also reflecting on what happens when God calls, and one doesn’t answer the call. In addition, she illustrates God’s love, kindness, care, and patience all along the way.”

Book Review by Tami Van Hoy, Author, Speaker, Teacher
Have you ever wondered if God sees you when going through the ‘hard’ of life? Do you struggle with the world view of hope for a fairy tale ending – wondering where yours is? Read this book. As Mary shares her story of ‘hard’ – she leads us out of false hope in worldly fairy tale endings and to life giving hope in the love and promises of God. Thank you Mary, for reminding us in this book that we are loved, seen and empowered by our Creator – no matter the situation or circumstances. www.tamivanhoy.com
