About Barbara J. Harry

“I was on call 24 hours a day and I got burnt out; the turning point for me. ‘God, I really need you! I cried Take over!’ Instead of running around doing things for God,
I asked Him to help me!

“I learned how to ‘be’ rather than ‘do;’ a human being rather than a human doing. Heart cries were expressed through poems or prose. I became a lot more contemplative.
Creativity flourished.”
