Publisher's summary

Thomas Hall is an artist with astonishing talent - and a vainglorious sense of self. Since his days as a child prodigy he has reveled in recognition and believed in his inevitable destiny. Chosen. Entitled. He presumes his artistic brilliance deserves a lavish life of independence, fast cars, and drop-dead gorgeous women. Thomas Hall wants it all and more. Destiny has other plans. When "Cass", the woman from the Healing Place, walks into his life, nothing can ever be the same again.

Thomas finds himself faced with a challenge he could never have imagined, suspended between the snarling beasts of his fanciful imagination that belie the existence of God and the undaunted faith of a little girl named Christina. What he discovers about the child's harrowing escape from death - and the impossibility of what happened at the bottom of the cliff - brings him face-to-face with the most frightening question of his life.

Award-winning filmmaker Kieth Merrill shares a cinematic story of one man's journey in search of his soul that introduces us to a fascinating cast of characters and takes us to a place we've never been.

Masterpiece!

I can't recommend this book enough! Merrill has painted a masterpiece with his words much like Thomas did on his canvas. This work of art depicts darkness, anger and bitterness that is overcome by the brilliant light, glory and majesty of Jesus Christ. A definite must in any library!!!

So intriguing!

It was fun to follow his journey. I enjoyed how much softer his heart was at the end and how much more real his paintings became.

Amazing!!

I loved this book…the words of Kieth Merrill exquisitely expressed by Simon Vance painted a glorious picture throughout ! I’ve read the book twice and loved it, but I must admit that this audible version was the best!

Worth your time!

Didn’t have any expectations. I didn’t even know what the book was about. I just started reading to meet the deadline for a bookclub I belong to. I was immediately hooked. Great story! Interesting , well written, and moving. Fabulous performance! This is a rare find and I will be recommending it to all my family and friends.

One of the best books I have ever read.

Wow! I just finished this amazing book. Every once in a while I read a book that is life changing. I am so happy I found this book. I can't wait to share it with family and friends. Keith Merrill is a better writer than he is a film maker. And his films are superb. If six stars could be awarded, this book would earn six stars.
