THE SURFACE OF WATER:
A NOVEL

The only person who can uncover his secret has arrived.

It’s 2006, and Calvary Community Church of Chicago needs a new administrative assistant. Pastor Matthew Goodman examines possible new hire 25-year-old Trish Card. Her somber eyes, beautiful and lake-clear, watch him. What he doesn’t know about Trish and her true reason for appearing will dismantle his world irrevocably.

The Surface of Water is a story about Matthew, whose fame and isolation grew beyond his control and about Trish, a young woman trying to understand her mother’s complicated life and her own.

In the #ChurchToo era, this contemporary novel invites readers to experience life’s dark edges—isolation, power, and abuse—illuminated by the light of grace.

HOPE IN THE MOURNING BIBLE

WHEN A CASSEROLE OR A GREETING CARD ISN’T ENOUGH.

Grief is one of life’s toughest challenges. During such times it is difficult to know where to turn. Yet in the midst of your deepest despair, God reveals Himself and His promises for a better tomorrow.  The NIV Hope in the Mourning Bible works to bring a peaceful sense—in the midst of the coldest winter—that spring will one day come again. The collection of devotions and prayers warmly offer inspiration and hope based in God’s Word and his promises to those who have lost loved ones. This Bible emphasizes the love and hope that your Lord has for you even during your darkest days.
