Transformed By Tragedy
$15.99
Where did her Father get his choice of a name? Everyone just assumed it was
because he loved operas and named her after the Spanish gypsy in “Carmen.”
As she matured into a stunningly beautiful young girl with an olive complexion,
dark hair and dark eyes, she resembled more of the Hispanic race than her
Caucasian ancestry. Her lack of identity in early childhood combined with the
rejection and abuse from her family of origin, led Carmyn to believe that the “y”
in her name was the beginning of her feeling like a misplaced “why” in life.
After a failed suicide attempt at age thirteen, Carmyn sought to find the answers
to the untold many “whys” in her life.
A dramatic conclusion weaves the past with the present and shines with the
compelling truth and hope that only God can bring light out of darkness. Her
redemption is found veiled in the symbolism of roses, the love of an unforgettable
caretaker named Rosetta, and a divine revelation from God that ultimately
transforms her tragedies into triumphs.

Great Divorce
$17.99Add to cartC.S. Lewis takes us on a profound journey through both heaven and hell in this engaging allegorical tale. Using his extraordinary descriptive powers, Lewis introduces us to supernatural beings who will change the way we think about good and evil. In The Great Divorce C.S. Lewis again employs his formidable talent for fable and allegory. The writer, in a dream, finds himself in a bus which travels between Hell and Heaven. This is the starting point for an extraordinary meditation upon good and evil which takes issue with William Blake’s The Marriage of Heaven and Hell.
