About the Book
Rainbows Amidst the Clouds is a devotional journey through the Bible, contemplating selected passages in every book from Genesis to Revelation. One of the best ways to maintain a close personal relationship with the Lord is to practice a consistent daily devotional program, and this book is one tool to help achieve that goal in the year ahead. As a baby boomer herself, Dr. Barcelo has written this devotional with a view toward relating to the spiritual interests of those who are living out their golden years.
Barcelo’s rich and varied background as an educator, administrator, missionary, and college professor has given her many experiences from which to draw as she grapples with how to remain spiritually healthy and continue to be relevant in the cause of God as a retired person. Readers, however, will find that this book is applicable to students of the Bible in all stages of life, since it covers a wide range of topics, depending upon the selected text for each day. Such diverse themes as parenting, divorce, missionary work, leaving and returning to the church, equality, stewardship, aging, and retirement are all touched upon in this post-pandemic devotional.
With each passing day, search with Dr. Barcelo amid the clouds life sometimes brings, for the blessings of God’s guidance, and His rainbows of promise and hope, found only as we take time to thoughtfully walk through His Word.
"I just wanted to say what a delightful book you placed in my hand today! I have read several entries and found them all very uplifting. I take exception to only one statement...that the book is especially for those in their golden years. This book is for everybody. Nicely done!"
-Pastor Tony, Arizona
