Renewal - Paperback

Did you catch it? The word "new" is conveniently nestled in the word "real." That's what a vibrant spiritual journey can do for a believer - make them feel "real new."

In selecting the cover image, photographer and friend Vicky Pannella reflects how it connects with the author's testimony. "It's a story of healing, restoration, being made whole and new replacing the old. Sometimes only small repairs are needed, other times total replacement is the 'fix' until all parts are in harmony. When the damage has eroded a large part of the original beyond our repair capabilities, we must rely on expert advice. Who better to supply the advice and repairs than the original creator and His followers. Careful and periodic maintenance, guided by the expert, then needs to follow the repair to ensure things continue to work as they were intended. ... The first part is the story of how easily the damage can creep in and, after a period of time, overwhelm. The image ... [is] a visual of remaining upright while weathering difficult circumstances."
