I am privileged to say that I have had the opportunity to read “FACETS” by Mariette Ross. I and others I know to have read the book have found Mariette’s journey and life lessons both captivating and very inspiring.
This book is a must read, and carries important messages that both religious and non-religious readers can relate to.
It truly is an incredible piece of work.

What captured my heart & curiosity instantly was that FACETS is written by my friend’s daughter
– how courageous & noble is Mariette to share the good & not so good times of her life. I feel sure that many would take solace from her experiences. What further enticed me: the author turned the hands of the clock back to the familiar soil on which I was born & bred, the famous Orange City, Nagpur & also Bombay (now Mumbai). It was exhilarating to revive & relive my days in those familiar places. How then could I have not craved to devour FACETS? I compare this to a person, meeting an old friend in the most unexpected circumstances in an absolutely new country after 50 years or more – thrilling indeed! FACETS – It is an absolutely interesting, well written & down-to-earth masterpiece. Believe me, I breathed & lived it in the duration I read it & found it difficult to put it down”.

FACETS, very readable, an interesting autobiography. An easy style of writing and the story told in a manner which everyone can relate to and feel one with. That is where its interest lies. A very frankly written autobiography of a person who had a very happy life, a person who developed into an adult who was able to understand and appreciate the happiness that life gave her in her youth, whose strength and vision did not let the negatives affect her view and memories of the days gone by.
– Stan Nazareth, India
“Reading FACETS kept me engrossed and enthused to know more about the writer. At times, it gave me the feeling of being a part of her autobiography. By reading her thoughts and story, I gathered she must be beautiful. But the writer disturbed Jesus too much. Poor man had no peace!”
– SK, Germany.
Very very impressive and inspiring.

Facets is a real life story which we can easily relate to but it is in confronting and overcoming life’s challenges that the author’s deep faith inspires, encourages and exhilarates.
– Julia Rodricks, Australia
I have read the book FACETS in a couple of days as the book was so interesting and was eager to know what is in the next chapter. The language was simple and attractive so anyone can read it. Author has brilliantly narrated experiences of her life events and how to lead her life in God’s love and faith.

In FACETS, the author has in a very interesting way captured the audience with an original story of her life. From a Christian perspective she has recounted her belief in God and described her experiences in a very engrossing and authentic style.

When faced with life’s challenges, we often withdraw ourselves from God’s keen and protective love, relying instead on our limited foresight to navigate the path He has designed for our journey. Mariette’s book bears testimony to St. Paul’s letter to the Romans 5:3-4 “trouble produces endurance, endurance brings God’s approval and His approval creates HOPE”. I would recommend this book to anyone who is curious about the mysterious ways in which God manifests Himself to us.
