Healing Stones

"When Demi's private life becomes public news, hope seems far out of reach. Christian college professor Demitria Costanas had vowed to end her affair with a colleague. But she gives into temptation one last time . . . and a lurking photographer captures her weakness for all to see. Quite literally, she's the woman caught in adultery. And almost everyone--herself included--has a stone to throw. Enter Sullivan Crisp, a decidedly unorthodox psychologist with his own baggage. He's well-known for his quirky sense of humor and incorporation of 'game show' theology into his counseling sessions. And yet there's something more he offers: hope for a fresh start. Reluctantly the two of them begin an uplifting, uneven journey filled with healing and grace. By turns funny and touching, this story explores the ways humans hurt each other and deceive themselves. And it shows the endlessly creative means God uses to turn stones of accusation and shame into works of beauty that lead us onto the path of healing. A candid yet tender series about pain, healing, and God's invitation for second chances. 'A story of refining one's faith in a world of sin and temptation. It just might change your life. It has certainly changed mine.' --Angela Hunt, author of Daughter of Cana - Inspirational contemporary read - The first book in the Sullivan Crisp series, but can be enjoyed as a standalone - Book one: Healing Stones - Book two: Healing Waters - Book three: Healing Sands"

Her marriage is over, her kids are living with their dad, her God-life is silent, and her patience is practically nonexistent.

But before she can help anyone, Ryan's got to get her anger in check. She turns to Sullivan Crisp's Healing Choices clinic, but even that doesn't go according to plan. Quirky and unusual don't even begin to describe Sully, and Ryan soon realizes he isn't the quick-fix therapist she was hoping for. Between his unorthodox counseling and a group of women who are the first real friends she's had in a long time, Ryan begins to realize it's not control she's looking for, but something much more powerful. - Inspirational contemporary read - The third book in the Sullivan Crisp series, but can be enjoyed as a standalone - Book one: Healing Stones - Book two: Healing Waters - Book three: Healing Sands"

Healing Waters

"When life seems to conspire against you, how do you find the courage to dive into Healing Waters? When Lucia Coffey looks at her reflection, she sees fat and failure. When she looks at her sister Sonia, she sees svelte and success. When she looks at God, she sees that divine love can't possibly be doled out equally. All her life, Lucia has coped by throwing herself into taking care of those who seem more worthy of God's goodness, and feeding the dreams she has buried alive. But when tragedy strikes Lucia's family, she meets Sullivan Crisp--a decidedly offbeat psychologist who is trying to cope with his own shattered past. They form an alliance to try to hold her family together and, in the process, both tentatively dip their toes into the waters of healing. Step by faltering step they wade in, forging an unlikely community and digging deep for the courage to face a lurking danger that could pull them under . . . or remind them what it's like to dance on the waves. - Inspirational contemporary read - The second book in the Sullivan Crisp series, but can be enjoyed as a standalone - Book one: Healing Stones - Book two: Healing Waters - Book three: Healing Sands - Named Women of Faith Novel of the Year (2009)"
