Patricia Ann Boyes said she met Jesus when she was four years old. It was on the day she walked alone to the country church near her grandmother’s house; a kind woman sat with her, showed her a picture of Jesus and said he would always be her best friend. Although she probably didn’t understand it at the time, Boyes said, Jesus would walk with her through an often difficult and turbulent life.
At the age of 76, Boyes kept seeing Jeremiah 32:2 jump out at her from her Bible: “Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel: Write in a book all the words that I have spoken to you.” So she did.
The result is My Precious Life, a memoir self – published through WestBow Press.
“It’s very secular, the story about my life; not pretty in some places,” the member of St. Andrew’s, Scarborough, Ont., told the Record. “I’ve been told I’ve been very brave to write it. I don’t know what that means.
“The number one reason I wrote it was to inspire people. With God all things are possible.”
