Soul Rubs will make a lasting impression on the reader. The author, Rouzier Dorce, does more than merely preach the sacred virtues of faith, forgiveness, charity, hope, gratitude, or peace. Rather, he extols those principles through effective and poignant storytelling. Rouzier's life experiences are told through those who impacted that journey. The stories in Soul Rubs provide clear examples of virtues with God's awesome presence. They speak of a boy who served angel duty when his grandfather passed away while resting on his chest. They tell the story of a mother who taught the merits of charity, hope, and faith through example. They also speak, through these tales, to the rich heritage of Haitian culture and of a people who continue to live hope-fueled lives. Amid times of aridity and disenchantment, Soul Rubs exudes the true spirit of hope and faith and restores a commitment to those theological virtues.
