Before the Clock Stops

by Michael J. Melton

It’s not too late—until it is.

Ronnie Jackson thought he’d run out of time. Estranged from his children, haunted by regret, and confined to a hospital bed in a quiet Texas town, he’s convinced the clock has run out on redemption. But when a boy named Martin knocks on his door—with a lawnmower, a Bible, and eyes that seem to see right through him—Ronnie’s story begins to change.

As unexpected visitors arrive, both earthly and divine, Ronnie must face the man he became… and rediscover the man he was meant to be. With every sunrise, old promises are revisited, broken relationships are tested, and a deeper grace begins to break through the silence.

Before the Clock Stops is a heart-stirring Christian novel about second chances, quiet miracles, and the God who never gives up on us—even at the eleventh hour.

Perfect for listeners who love The Shack, 90 Minutes in Heaven, and The Prodigal God.

“Mercy waits longer than time. And grace always leaves the porch light on.”

Uplifting and emotional
A powerful story of faith, forgiveness, and family
A perfect gift for fathers, prodigals, and seekers of hope

Heartwarming story

If you want to here about forgiving grace, then this is a must listen. Forgiveness can happen if your willing to forgive.
Great narration as well.

Sounded like Laurie was sitting in front of me, telling this story!

Loved the book and the fact that Jesus was the center if it all. Laurie made it feel real!

Seeet story

I enjoyed this sweet story reminding us of second chances for ourselves and others. The old man remembering the deep desires of childhood stirred up reminders in me of my deep childhood desires, and the fact that it's never too late to move toward them. The narration was impeccable. It was a warm story shared in the same tone. I was drawn into the story and it felt as if they were sitting right in front of me. Great job to author and narrator!

Wonderful book

This book was a very heartwarming read. The narrator did a great job. I felt like I was right there with each character change.

A Fathers Love of God

I love to read books but honestly, I fall asleep too easily and then audiobooks came along! I can’t get enough and always looking for a good story to listen to and Before The Clock Stop did not disappoint. It’ll be one that I remember for a long time and will probably listen to it again and again and again. The narrator spoke so softly that I was drawn into the book more more and didn’t wanna put it down. Listen to this father’s young life, his love for God and family, then losing it all just to gain it back even stronger and leave a legacy for generations to come. My heart was so touched by this story as the narrator spoke I visually could see the whole story in my head. What a wonderful movie this book would make I give this audiobook author and narrator five thumbs up.

Inspiring

A great short story about second chances. Forgiveness. A reminder that it’s never too late.
Very well read. I liked that it was read with some emotion. Not just words being read.

Great Narration

Before the Clock Stops is gripping and emotional from start to finish. The story pulls you in, and the narrator’s performance makes it unforgettable. Highly recommend.

Wonderful story

I thoroughly enjoyed this book and Laurie Mathis Mullinax delivered an exceptional narration. A very inspiring story

Good Message but horrible story

The story started out great but then it was not good. The wording was too fluffy and no substance. There were inconsistencies. I was confused. for example, Martin offered to mow the dad's lawn at his home. The dad heard the lawn mower but the dad was in the hospital. How could he hear the lawn mower? There are other examples in things didn't connect or make sense. It came across a bit AI-ish. The narration was great in providing a warm performance.
