<p><font color="#000000" face="verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"><span style="line-height:normal;">An Amazon #1 bestseller with 50+ glowing reviews. </span></font></p><p><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:small;line-height:normal;">Available in Kindle and print.</span></p><p><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:small;line-height:normal;">From the very start of her faith autobiography, ‘She Does Not Fear the Snow’, author Bobbie Ann Cole reaches out across the page and endears herself to her reader. You will very quickly feel that you know her, and will be richer for the knowledge. </span></p><div style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:small;line-height:normal;height:auto;"><div>She comes to Israel, seeking meaning and purpose for her life, following breast cancer and the demise of her long-standing marriage. There, God claims her and lays a trail of miracles that lead her from her native England to a new husband of faith in Atlantic Canada. <br />Though she is upfront about her ending, you’ll find yourself longing to learn the next step in her discovery of new love and deeper faith journey. This is one of those books you just can’t put down. Potentially, you’ll be following the twists and turns of her journey into the wee small hours. <br />‘A mysterious rug with a life-changing message, a Ruth-type love story, fascinating interactions with other believers, poetic descriptions of landscapes many native Canadians take for granted—and a message of God’s love and salvation,’ writes critic Margaret Welwood. ‘Bobbie Ann Cole’s story is a little too strange and untidy to be fiction. As a true story, it will leave you satisfied, yet wanting to know more.’ <br />‘Often times, life will take us to the end of our rope, leaving us helpless and at our wit’s end. Yet, even in such dire situations, our God is not helpless. He will bring in plentiful harvest – a harvest of renewal, hope, joy and happiness in our life,’ says Khamneithang Vaiphei. ‘She Does Not Fear the Snow is an incredible testimony that will have a profound impact on you.’ <br />If mystery, romance, women’s faith issues, the Jewish roots of Christianity, Christian living or outreach appeal to you, you will find much to enjoy.</div><div> </div></div>

Story Behind The Book

Inspired from years of living on the Island of Ireland I decided to try to put into words what it felt like, what you seen and who you where to live in Ireland and be Irish. I spent most of my life so far unaware that most people didnt see the world as i did, or should I say hear it is I heard it. You see, I have a rare condition know as Synesthesia which means that I see colours in sound. Some are more vivid than others, for example music and the sound of the wind or sea crashing on rocks. I also have been fortunate in being able to express what I see and hear in words, particuliarly poetry. This first publication for me was an attempt to open my world to others and to allow everyone to view a Synesthic world in someways like a virtual world within a computer when sounds and pulses are shown and displayed in graphic colours and bars. I have used this kind of format to express my view on life bringing together the history of Ireland from folklore to growing up in the troubles of Ulster right back to historical happenings. To this end the book is a medium for irish eyes, a sort of guide to Ireland seen by people of irish decent. I hope you enjoy reading For Irish Eyes as much as I have enjoyed writing it.
