Necessary Heartbreak : A Novel Of Faith And Forgiveness
$16.99Add to cartAn extraordinary journey back in time shows a struggling single dad that the faith he’s lost is still alive-and stronger than ever. . . .Michael Stewart has weathered his share of hardships: a troubled childhood, the loss of his mother, even the degradation of living on the city streets. Now he’s raising his teenaged daughter, Elizabeth, on his own and doing the best he can at work and at home. But he’s turned his back on his faith-that is, until the morning Michael and Elizabeth volunteer for a food pantry at their local church. While storing boxes in the basement, they step through a mysterious door . . . and find themselves in first-century Jerusalem during the tumultuous last week of Jesus Christ’s life. It is a dangerous and violent place, where doing what your heart tells you is right can get you imprisoned-or worse-and they are thankful to take refuge with a kind widow. But when they come face-to-face with Judas Iscariot and the condemned Christ himself, Michael realizes that before they can escape Jerusalem, he must experience history’s most necessary and shattering heartbreak-and that pain and loss must happen if Michael is to be set free: to live, love, and reclaim the blessings he has in the present day.

Windows Into The Soul
$17.95Add to cartWorking with clay, paint, crayons, or pencils, artists have long known that the act of creating art can help people explore the deepest recesses of their hearts – and bring about real change in their lives. Michael Sullivan discovered the power of art for himself in the midst of grieving the loss of a young parishoner. Ever since, he has been using simple art projects as a form of prayer and a way of helping others explore what God may be saying to them.
This book is a practical resource for those who want to explore this means of prayer and contemplation for themselves. Readers will find projects in various media, including clay, charcoal, and acrylic, as well as technical directions and a gentle guide to the spiritual gold to be mined from the experience.
