Carpenters Son : A Novel
$22.00
Brooklyn Sterling is an award-winning journalist who makes her living exposing frauds, crooked politicians, and con-men in the pages of the Boston Globe newspaper. Her latest assignment has her investigating a series of so-called miracles that are happening in the city. A devout atheist who has suffered a hurt and harbors a bitter resentment toward God, Brooklyn is hot on the trail of a man behind the miracles, prepared to lay bare this fraud and reveal the truth; that God, faith, and eternal life are all a childish fiction.
When a boy is brought back to life and a blind man suddenly sees, Brooklyn confronts her own crisis of faith, facing the hard truth that God, Jesus and the stories she assumed were merely fairytales, might all actually be true.
During this journey she meets a family, broken by the loss of a young man at war and struggling to make sense of the world’s suffering. She also meets the mysterious man living above this family’s garage, a carpenter’s son, who knows Brooklyn’s heart and thoughts, and makes her an offer no atheist could refuse. Spend a day with Jesus and ask all the hard questions that have haunted humankind for centuries.
What happens next opens Brooklyn’s eyes to a truth too bright to be denied, showing her that God has a role and plan for each of us and we are never alone in this journey, especially in the darkest of times. The Carpenter’s Son gives the reader a chance to walk with Christ and see the world through his eyes. You’ll find yourself laughing, crying, and unable to put it down. Most importantly, it will renew your faith in God and each other.

Revelations Of Divine Love

As a result of these visions, she dedicated the rest of her life to solitary prayer, and wrote down the content of the visions, which became the first book in English known to have been written by a woman. The first vision includes her famous meditation on the hazelnut, which for her becomes an image of God’s love because God made it, loves it and keeps it.”The most original and revolutionary reading of Christ’s gospel since that of St Paul.’ (A. N. Wilson, from the Introduction)

Inner Voice Of Love
$15.00Add to cartThis is Henri Nouwen’s “secret journal.” It was written during the most difficult period of his life, when he suddenly lost his self-esteem, his energy to live and work, his sense of being loved, even his hope in God. Although he experienced excruciating anguish and despair, he was still able to keep a journal in which he wrote each day a spiritual imperative to himself, which emerged from his conversations with friends and supporters.
For more than eight years, Nouwen felt that what he wrote was too raw and private to share with others. Instead he published ‘The Return of the Prodigal Son,’ in which he expressed some of the insights gained during his mental and spiritual crisis. But then friends asked him, “Why keep your anguish hidden from the many people who have been nurtured by your writing? Wouldn’t it be of consolation for many to know about the fierce inner battle that lies underneath so many of your spiritual insights?”
For the countless men and women who have to live through the pain of broken relationships or who suffer from the loss of a loved one, ‘The Inner Voice of Love’ offers new courage, new hope, even new life.
