"No matter how old you are or how many degrees you have or don't have—when grace takes you to school, you start in kindergarten."
This was the experience of Reverend Glandion Carney when he was given the life-altering news that he has Parkinson's disease. He was plunged into denial and despair. This was not supposed to be his journey. How could he face it?
With poignant vulnerability, The Way of Grace describes one man's journey into a new land of God's amazing grace. Both his honesty and his resilience will inspire and inform your own times of difficulty.
In each chapter we are introduced to a spiritual practice that can carry us through difficult days: acceptance, relinquishment, community, simplicity and more. And a guide at the end of each chapter carries us into a brief and refreshing experience with each of the practices.
God's unmerited grace saves us, strengthens us and sanctifies us. We too can experience lives full of grace and truth, courageously searching out God's wonders every day.
“I love this book! It captures the prayerful and compassionate heart of Glandion Carney, a man I was privileged to work alongside in pastoral ministry. Beautifully written, it also reflects the heart of the coauthor, Marjean Brooks—a beautiful woman of deep faith and prayer, graced with the Spirit of God as a writer, teacher, mentor and friend. I highly recommend The Way of Grace to anyone who desires to see beyond the pain to the goodness, complexity and yet the simplicity of the grace of God. Every chapter points to Jesus, full of grace and truth.”
Karen Mahler, assistant pastor of pastoral care, St. Peter’s Anglican Church, Birmingham, Alabama

In a world that is only getting busier and noisier, we are inundated by sounds that compete for our attention. When we turn off the noise and really listen, we might be surprised at what we hear. We may even learn something new about ourselves!
This thoughtful picture book uses images and a story told in rhyme to show that some of the most important messages of all can be found when we take the time to listen to the silence.
All of humanity's problems stem from man's inability to sit quietly in a room alone.
Blaise Pascal
