A new modern fable

I love this story, which is rich in allegory, and also cheese cake (little in-joke, you'll have to read to know). Moving, funny, well narrated, and well written, a little 'Green Mile' in the best way, but still its own voice. Overall, very entertaining, with a twist and truth in it's tale.

Publisher's Summary:

Journey to the Heart is the tale of how one woman overcomes her bitterness and anger regarding life and love. Lucina, a 25-year-old Canadian computer programmer, travels to Mexico in order to heal herself after a terrible burn-out and yet another bad relationship. By chance, she encounters a deeply insightful Mexican woman named Señora Labotta, who slowly helps her come into contact with her inner Self. But Lucina is stubborn and jaded, and has difficulty stepping out of her past into a universe of fluidity and acceptance. When she meets Teleo, a charming green-eyed healer, Lucina must make a decision: Either return to her fears and anxieties, or enter her heart, a place she knows very little of.

The Accidental Mystic

Like the fool in the Tarot cards, Lucina steps out into the unknown. Part love story, and part spiritual adventure, her story might be called the accidental mystic. She journeys to Mexico as a vacation from a toxic life back home. What she discovers is a world of love, healing and spiritual transformation.

Journey to the Heart is a lovely read for those that are just beginning their spiritual quest. For those who are already on their path, the book is a fine reminder of where they have been and where they need to go next. The story is full of diverse characters, wise life lessons and powerful symbols that will trigger your memory, and touch your soul. I plan to give a copy to my granddaughter.

A meaningful and inspiring novel!

Nora Caron has written a meaningful and inspiring novel about one woman's path to self-discovery and self-healing. I read this book in a day, I just couldn't put it down! Lucina, the book's main character, has had her heart broken countless times, and has faced many other challenges in her life. Instead of giving up and becoming bitter, she finds the courage to make great changes in her life in order to find peace, happiness and love. Lucina's journey towards spiritual wisdom is filled with colorful characters, beautiful landscapes and even some interesting history lessons! Caron's writing style is clear and honest.She has the ability to draw the reader in instantly and she keeps us wanting to hear more. I cannot wait to read the sequel!

A Hypnotic Journey

Lucina Pilano is an attractive, 25-year-old computer professional living in Montreal where she appears to "have it all." But appearances are deceiving. Having it all includes a burn out, a therapist, a neurotic mother, a string of noxious relationships with men, and many dark thoughts.

Blackness shadows her as a close companion. "I wish I were blackness itself," she muses. "Then I could maybe pass off as being something other than empty and dead inside."

Her therapist suggests a trip to Oaxaca City, in southern Mexico, for sunshine, energy and a fresh perspective. Though Lucina packs the dark thoughts in with the rest of her baggage, a providential meeting with Oaxaca bookstore owner Señora Labotta jolts her out of the tourist stasis of a typical vacation. The bookseller invites Lucina to check out of the hotel and camp on her property outside of town.

Members Reviews:

simply amazing

I found this plot amazing. I wasn't sure if i wanted to read such a sad and depressing book, even right in the start of the book. I was angry at some spots and amused at others. This book is very easy reading. I liked the ending a lot. It was a complete ending, you felt good at the end. I am glad Sigmund Brouwer gave the book this ending.

A wonderful find

truly enjoyed, wonderful message, bought several copies and gave as gifts, saved my copy and labeled it so that whn my two grandgirls are old enough, I would like them to read it.

lovely story

beautifully written and simply told. I read it in one night! I highly recommend this book. It is one to pass on as a gift...and keep a copy on hand as well.

Powerful

Nathaniel contracted leprosy while serving in the British Army in India in the middle 1800's. Rather then expose his family to his disease; he secludes himself from the world. But when he finds a baby girl, how will her unconditional love change his out look on his life?

This novella is a quick read. I got through it in a couple hours one evening. But that doesn't make it any less powerful. Sigmund Brouwer has created a cast of characters that need the love of God, and works them through their problems. The ending had me in tears.

Anyone looking for a good story that will move you while making you rethink your own priorities need look no further. This powerful little book is must reading.

A must read.

The Leper is more than just a book to lead you down a path of faith. It's a great story filled with both, tears of joy and sadness. But more of joy and redemption. I read it in two days. I couldn't even put it down while decorating Easter eggs?

Title: Cracking Grace

Author: Stephen Stromp

Narrator: Heidi Madagame

Format: Unabridged

Length: 4 hrs and 32 mins

Language: English

Release date: 04-10-14

Publisher: Stephen Stromp

Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 5 votes

Genres: Fiction, Religious & Inspirational

Publisher's Summary:

Cracking Grace questions the very basic concepts of spirituality through the eyes of Audrey, a young girl in the midst of a tragedy - and through the eyes of Mary, a seemingly lifeless cemetery statue.

As her father slips into madness, Audrey is left to explore a secret world for answers to her loss. Aided by her faithful companion, a bluebird named Bluebell, Mary sets out on her own mission of discovery - despite chiding from the other residents of the cemetery: The cynical Jesus; two wisecracking gargoyles; and the eccentric ghost Mrs. Grant, a curmudgeonly old woman trapped among the graves.

Part fable, part dark fantasy, Cracking Grace is the story of loss and of newfound friendships for a young, wounded girl. Its the story of a father bound to the flesh, unable to accept death. Its the story of a woman trapped in stone, determined to understand her existence.

Members Reviews:

I really enjoyed listening to the book.

I thought it was a good book. loved the different voices by the narrator made it more interesting to listen too and funny at times.

not my cup of tea

This book is read very well. I thought I liked where the story was going, then it seemed to morph into something very different. It is not that it is a bad story. It just was not my kind of story. It does portray an interesting take on life and death. I am sure some readers with a different perspective from mine would enjoy it. Disclosure: I received this audiobook free in exchange for an honest review.

Members Reviews:

A powerful story of love, service, and purpose...

This wonderful book by Hassan Tetteh should be required reading of anyone in the military or medical professions. Hassan writes an astounding account of a young surgeon's journey of self-discovery backed by what may only be the author's own experience on the front lines of the War on Terror. If you think that war is only about SEALs, Spec-Ops, guns, cool planes, and YouTube combat footage, then you simply must hear what our amazing medical professionals contribute to our great nation. I could not help but feel an overwhelming pride in our men and women working hard in the desert to send our injured soldiers, sailors, marines, and airmen home safely.

From Brooklyn to behind the wire

This book quickly follows the upbringing of the son of immigrants. Although not exactly an autobiography of Dr. Tetteh, aspects of his life inspired much of this story. I became familiar with Lt. Cmdr. Tetteh, his predecessor and his successor through packages to FOB Edinburgh in Afghanistan. The description of their work and their reflections upon that work, as well as the evolution from civilian to military medical professionals, can be found throughout this book. Most importantly, the story reminds the reader about what is important in life.

A new angle on the junction between medicine and religion.

Dr Tetteh modestly illustrates from his own experience an example of St Paul's phrase: " what is the immeasurable greatness of his power for us who believe." by describing in the form of a novel how belief in a higher power literally can save a life.

Four Stars

Interesting story on finding one's way through unexpected tragedy

Wonderful read!

This is a very heart warming and interesting story about intelligence, persistence, and ambition with a lot of love included.

Outstanding history of America's methods for dealing with mental illness

This is a terrific history of society's methods for dealing with the problems of the mentally ill. It explains a great deal of the homelessness problem, especially those who refuse or cannot make use of the society's efforts to help them. It also explains the background to the large overlap between the those with substantial mental illness and those incarcerated for or involved in crime.

Mr. Cramer's emotional energy and motivation for writing the book is derived from his brother Ron's lapse into schizophrenia, which he uses to illustrate changes in mental health paradigms (and the associated personal pain) but it is not primarily about Ron. It is about the history of the various ways, privately and governmentally, that America has dealt with mental illness from colonial times to the present.

Although Mr. Cramer's vocation is primarily software engineer, his avocation is historian, an amateur in the very best sense of the word who has also taught history at the college level. He applies the same depth of research and quality as he did in earlier efforts, which have been cited in a Supreme Court of the United States decision. This is not a dashed-off effort, it is a serious, documented, but very readable history.

At $1.49 for the Kindle version, this is more steal than deal, and well worth your time.

What happened to the Homeless ?

I always blamed Nixon for all the homeless. Working my way through college made me very intolerant of bums and panhandlers. I then fell in love with a woman who was mentally ill and homeless.

A Christmas Homecoming

A Christmas Homecoming is a poignant novella about God's gift of grace, forgiveness, healing, faith and redemption to a family that has been struggling through unfortunate life circumstances for the past seven years. Written in the third person narrative with alternating perspectives from a mother and a daughter, author MaryAnn Diorio weaves an inspirational tale of the beauty of God's grace and the power of forgiveness that brings a family back together, on the road to healing and becoming whole once again.

At the age of eighteen, Jody Pettit O'Dair runs away from her home in Falls Church, Virginia, to experience a life of adventure and excitement in Sydney, Australia. She left her family without even saying goodbye, leaving just an impersonal note telling them not to look for her. Now seven years later at the age of twenty-five, Jody realizes that her life of adventure and freedom has instead brought only heartache and trouble. Divorced and left penniless with three year old twins Micah and Greta, she is laid off from a job she hated but desperately needed. With nowhere else to turn to, can Jody go back home to her family in Virginia? Will they forgive her for her selfish actions and the pain that she has put them through? Will they welcome her back into their family?

For seven Christmases, Sonia Pettit has prayed for the safety and return of her daughter Jody. Jody's unexplained disappearance has turned Sonia and her family's world upside down. After twenty-nine years of marriage to her husband Rick, he took Jody's disappearance so hard, he developed a heart condition and withdrew from the world as bitter man whose heart gave out, only to die from a broken heart. And their son Ben, who was fifteen years old at the time of Jody's disappearance, is now an angry, bitter and rebellious twenty-two year old.
