A Novel About Receiving All of Life's Riches
by August Gold, Joel Fotinos
Joseph Hutchinson is a man who knows the reality of tragedy all too well; his life has been filled with misfortune and adversity. A widowed father of two, living on a farm that is about to be taken from him, Joseph embarks on an unexpected journey that will bring him face to face with his greatest fears, and ultimately with his greatest discovery: a mysterious wooden box hidden in his attic over one hundred years earlier. This box, The Prayer Chest, contains the Three Secrets of Prayer that will change his life and the lives of everyone around him. What starts out as a journey to save his children and himself turns into a quest through which he discovers the power to make every prayer come true.
"[T]his easy, inspirational read will warm the hearts of seekers everywhere." - Publishers Weekly.
"A rote addition to the glut of inspirational allegories promising quick fixes for ontological angst through prayer. Facile redemption aplenty. " - Kirkus Reviews.
