Riven

When a condemned man with nothing to lose meets one with nothing to gain, everyone washed by the endless ripples of that encounter will forever recall the day a little bit of heaven invaded a whole lot of hell. Brady Wayne Darby and Thomas Carey could hardly have been more disparate individuals. Yet when Darby, a no-account loser raised in a dingy suburban trailer park, encounters Carey, a weary man of God, an entire--state indeed, a nation--is affected. Embark on a wondrous journey where death, guilt, and despair are unfathomably trumped by rebirth, forgiveness, and hope.

Rick says, "This is an engaging, absorbing and well written book about the horrific abuse a pastor can endure – and the redemptive power of God in the midst of it all. I wept through the final chapters; I will never forget how the two main characters’ lives intersect and the amazing results. It is definitely a “must read” in my opinion."
