Amid early trauma, Marina was baptised as a child, and was led to a varied and ultimately 'successful' career in education. She taught all ages and abilities, and took various courses to follow questions her experience raised. With books, research and letters to her name she nevertheless reached exhaustion when faced with the needs of her own heart. God called her and she was then led on a journey of faith, back into the church, culminating after 20 years in 9 months 'listening to her pain' in Wales. - Book I of the Trilogy, 'He Heals the Broken Hearted', tells this story. She was led for the next 8 years in her desire to live for Christ, on a journey of Service. 'Your Will Be Done: Beyond Powerlessness Fear - Life Revealed in Love' reveals God's work in taking His Love into the depths of her trauma pain through the trials she lived to restore her Soul for Service in Christ's Love. She now lives a life of prayer back in Scotland, seeking obedience to God's Will in writing, iconography and service. Book 3, 'Children of God: Conformed to the Life Giving Cross in Joy and Hope for Eternal Life' is due to be published in April 2023.
'Dr Carrier's enthusiasm, wonderment and delight at the work of the Lord are infectious and bolster the reader's spirits as a fellow traveller. What is pleasant - and helpful to readers of all faiths or none - is her sincerity about the constancy of disappointment and hardship. But nevertheless, she persists, and gives us psychological and spiritual tools to do the same, and this again is for the benefit of anyone who finds themselves looking for truth in a world gone mad.'
