Eye of the Beholder: The Father Nate Diaries

By Gary A. Shockley

Father Nate Hawthorn is pushed over the edge of burnout and loses faith when his only son Justin, a high school senior, is killed in a car accident. Nate's already strained marriage to Toni, a beautiful environmental attorney, fractures, leaving him feeling abandoned and alone. Nate is merely going through the motions of life and work when a frantic phone call from a stranger pleading for help shatters his malaise. Begrudgingly struggling through a paralyzing snowstorm, Nate meets his mysterious caller at a nearby coffee shop where he discovers it is his life that depends on this meeting. A homeless woman, named Michelle, offers Nate a gift that can transform his miserable life if he chooses to accept it. Eye of the Beholder is an intriguing spiritual novel that invites readers to consider just how much they are shaped by others AND give shape to the people around them. It is a novel of hope, triumph, and transformation.
