Publisher's summary

Roma Downey - best known as the beloved angel on the TV show Touched by an Angel - has created a beautiful book filled with encouragement and hope, assuring us of God's comforting presence in our lives.

Ever since she was a little girl, Roma has seen butterflies as a reminder of God's presence. They have appeared to her in moments when she needed encouragement and reminded her she is not alone. In this deeply personal book, Roma shares stories from her life, alongside quotes, poems, and Scripture that she prays will uplift you as they have her. Each grace-filled chapter of this beautiful book covers topics such as courage, loss, gratitude, love, and kindness.

Reminiscent of the message of her popular television series, Touched by an Angel, this book's central theme is that there is a God and he loves you and that even in your most difficult moments, he is by your side. That though you may feel alone, you are never truly alone. The subtle butterfly theme reminds us that the wonder of God's love and kindness is sometimes reflected in the gentle whispers of his creation and that we all have the power to transform from simple caterpillars into exquisite butterflies.

Written in a way that encourages you to "dip in and out" of its flowing content, this inspiring book invites you to return again and again as life brings new challenges or you find yourself in need of new inspiration.

incredible story by an incredible Christian woman

brought tears to my eyes and hope to my heart, a must-read, I'm so glad that she read it in her own voice and didn't get someone else to read it

Roma inspiration

Loved this book and so incredible to have it in Roma's own voice. I am inspired and each time I listen to it I get new insights. Have given the book as a gift but really treasure being able to hear her readings. Get the book if you enjoy reading but also get this audible version. A treasure!

Life changing

I absolutely loved this book! I’m so excited to share it with my family and friends. Roma’s love for Jesus is so evident and it makes me want to be more purposeful in the way i see and experience him in my everyday life. I think everyone will love this book. I especially loved hearing her voice. It’s better than reading it yourself. The funny this is I’m typing with an Irish accent in my mind. ☘️

Beautifully written and wonderfully read!

Thank you Roma Downey for letting us into your life! I especially liked hearing you tell your story. Maya Angelo is certainly right, I felt your love for humanity! Yes, one day I hope to meet, be it here on this good earth or with our families who are in the presence of Almighty God.

A book of letting go and embracing

Roma is a wonderful story teller, but the discussion of her joys and pains, triumphs and perceived failures reminds us all of how much God loves us and how he will not leave us nor forsake us. Take a walk with her and Jesus as she share her journey with God. It just may change your life, as it did for her.

So moving, so wonderful. The best purchase ever

I always wondered about Roma Downey's story - how she grew up in Ireland, moved to America, and became a huge star in Hollywood. I had some garden work to do today and to motivate myself, I bought this audible reading of 'Box of Butterflies' to listen to. Boy, did I get lucky with this purchase! Her story was so moving and so positive, most of the time, I was in flowing tears thanking God for His Goodness and His tender love. This lady is a true angel in real life. I am going to treasure this audible book and next time I am feeling down, I am going to do some garden work and listen to this wonderful book once again. God bless you, Roma Downey! And God bless Ireland.
