Readers’ comments on the first novel: “It gripped me right away.” “The characters are portrayed as real people who make mistakes, but have the humility to ask for forgiveness.” “I really enjoyed how it… made me think differently about everyday situations and relationships.” “I kept wanting to read more and delve even further into these characters’ lives.” “I really liked the deep level that the characters go to in the quest to know God’s will and plan for their lives.” “I will definitely be recommending it to family and friends.”
Pope Francis affirmed the importance of stories like Adventures in the Great Mystery: “I believe that, so as not to lose our bearings, we need to make our own the truth contained in good stories. Stories that build up, not tear down; stories that help us rediscover our roots and the strength needed to move forward together… that can speak of ourselves and of the beauty all around us. … The stories of different ages all have a common ‘loom’: the thread of their narrative involves ‘heroes’, including everyday heroes, who in following a dream confront difficult situations and combat evil, driven by a force that makes them courageous, the force of love. By immersing ourselves in stories, we can find reasons to heroically face the challenges of life. … Our own story becomes part of every great story. As we read the Scriptures, the stories of the saints, and also those texts that have shed light on the human heart and its beauty, the Holy Spirit is free to write in our hearts, reviving our memory of what we are in God’s eyes” (1-24-20).
