In the tradition of the spiritual classics The Shack and The Screwtape Letters comes a captivating and poignant debut novel from the revered Jesuit priest and New York Times bestselling author of Jesus and The Jesuit Guide to (Almost) Everything. A divorced single mom, Anne can barely cope with life and struggles to make sense of the death of her young son. A former architect with a promising career, Mark works as a handyman and wonders how his life got off track. The abbot of the Abbey of Saints Philip and James, Father Paul sometimes questions whether he made the right decision in secluding himself so thoroughly from the world. At this Pennsylvania abbey, this unlikely trio will discover the answers they seek--a miracle of hope and understanding that bears witness to the power of God to bring healing and wholeness to our lives. Written with the compassion, insight, and warmth of his previous bestsellers--Jesus, Between Heaven and Mirth, and The Jesuit Guide to (Almost) Everything--Father James Martin's debut novel is infused with deep spiritual wisdom, wry humor, and loving grace. Through his characters' struggles, questions, and crises, we see firsthand how God uses our worries, anger, doubts, prayers, failures, and longings to help us complete ourselves and feel wholly loved.… (más)

A deeply moving story about a mother suffering after the death of her child. The ending seemed a bit rushed, but still I enjoyed this book very much, although it made me cry. Four and a half stars. ( )

This is a short, easy to read book about God’s love and infinite mercy. It’s context is a fictional where individuals with very human problems encounter God. The message is relayed through conversations these individuals have with the abbot of a local monastery. The message is sound Ignatian spirituality, something the author effectively writes about in his many non-fiction books. I enjoyed reading the book and the message - people of my persuasion can’t help like being reminded of God’s love for us. At the same time it was quick and didn’t have the depth that I am used to in the author’s work. It would be a very good book for someone beginning their spiritual journey. I will be recommending it to the many ‘questioner’ I have in my life. ( )

The abbey, a monastery in a small town known for the jam it makes, brings together a small group of people. A story of God's grace and how we never know where it will lead! A very uplifting read! I believe this is the author's first fiction book. I would like him to write more. ( )

I enjoyed this novel.

As good a primer on prayer as you'll ever read. While it might seem sentimental, it is a very touching story. ( )
