“Can These Dry Bones Live – The Transformation from the Well Within” is about the author’s life work. She worked for many years in healing with many different cultures and faiths. Lily C is a Catholic woman, and at the age of 52 years, she was taken out of her comfort zone to Asia and the rest of the world.
Life is a series of ups and downs. It is capricious at times, it can be cruel, and at other times it is profoundly beautiful. At one moment, it gives us a boost and enables us to enjoy various joyous experiences. The next moment it knocks you down and lets you experience all the evil the world has to offer. We all respond to life’s challenges differently, and our experiences mold and form who we are. Every human being is unique; we are complex beings with various cognitive abilities, emotions, and coping methods. We are all connected in so many ways.
When I was 30, I had a prophetic dream. In this Dream, I heard a voice tell me to read the book of Ezekiel and note the first three Chapters. I had read the book of Ezekiel before. However, I only glossed over it. I remember the words in Ezekiel can these dry bones live, and these words became a curiosity for me. And I longed to know the meaning of my Dream as I have always believed that our dreams speak to us, often revealing insight into our daily lives. The words ‘can these dry bones live’ was the most significant of the Dream
Looking back, I often think of how prophetic this has turned out for me at times, during my many ‘dark nights of the soul!’ We can and usually stay lost in the avalanche of things to do. We make our to-do list, keep pushing ourselves, and ignore the deep cry of our hearts, not unlike the scenario of the lady with the basket of eggs when she needs an egg for herself; the basket is empty. But, often, the exhaustion we feel from this daily grind can be a wake-up call and lead to a pivotal moment of profound insight and reflection.
I first met Lily in 2010 for a consultation regarding the selling of an apartment I had with family members. They had been refusing to sell it for nine years because of family disputes. Because of this, I had to stay in rental apartments for these nine years. Lily prayed for me in March – April 2010. In August 2010, they finally agreed to sell, and the purchase went smoothly. I was able to buy my flat. Without Lily, it would take many more years before I could have bought my own house.
My son, Ari, was born in 2007; however, Ari’s speech development was delayed, and he was not talking at all. As a Speech and Language Therapist myself, I had worked with him since his birth and more intensively since his 2nd birthday. It was devastating for me not to be able to see my child talk. I brought Ari to see Lily in 2010, and during the healing session, Ari was playing with a puppy in the room. When Lily and I started to pray, suddenly both Ari and the puppy stopped, both he and the puppy came and sat next to us. Ari’s first words were Jesus my Lord my God my Lord. It was the most beautiful prayer for Jesus. I was not familiar with Christian prayers at the time, and Lily was mindful of my Hindu faith. And Lily had never prayed any Prayers over him out loud. Ari could not have heard it before in school or anywhere.
That was a miracle that I witnessed, and I am very appreciative of it. It gave me hope that my son had a voice and he could speak.
It was a long journey of therapy and interventions before my son, diagnosed with mild autism, and I suspect selective mutism started to talk and converse verbally in 2018 when he was 11 years old.
Thank you, Lord Jesus, and thank you, Lily. Both Ari and I are now on the weekly prayer group with Lily and others. And Ari does the last of the prayers and the end of the evening. It is so exciting to know my son can speak and is now involved with music, prayer and more.
A powerful and moving book. In “Can These Dry Bones Live”, Lily brings the Word alive as she shares her life and deep insight with us. Her words spoke to me at my core. I felt such a sense of peace and awakening, as though my soul were coming home. Thank you, Lily; your Gift shines through on every page.

This book celebrates the profound love of God for each of us, and no one is more important than the other. There is nothing that can’t be forgiven or transformed into pearls of wisdom. If you have had a lifetime of hurt, struggle, or pain, there is a way through. And this way through is when you decide to fully come home to the ‘core’ of your being, and you let go and surrender. It’s in this letting go and surrendering that you come to realise that you are, and always have been, enough, and that nothing can separate you from the fullness of the restoration of God’s Divine Blueprint and personal touch for your life. Any setback, no matter how big, can be transformed into a beautiful work of art. The flaws of one’s life can be rebuilt into joy, and once again, you will receive “Beauty for Ashes” and the “Oil of Joy” for mourning. This book is a cherished keepsake and one that is; spiritual, thoughtful and reflective. A book you can read and refer back to in difficult moments.
