It was four o'clock in the morning. John Mark Wright slumped in his chair. In front of him, on a crappy table used at a cheap hotel, sat four objects. Legal pad. Pen. Loaded nine-millimeter Glock. Half-empty glass of Hennessy cognac.Reverend John Mark Wright has everything he could ask for: a beautiful, loving wife, a small church that cherishes his spiritual leadership, and a humble, charming home in which to build memories. The path of ministry seems to contain no roadblocks for him...until the bishop presiding over Reverend Wright is replaced by a man who can't wait to see John Mark out of his position. A series of betrayals, lies, and manipulation lands John in a place he never expected to be-and calls into question every piece of his identity. Through a series of hardships-being abandoned by loved ones, exploring new cities and countries, working in unfamiliar industries, and trying to discern exactly what his life's purpose is-John Mark faces the reality of his situation and the question of whether his calling is powerful enough to withstand all he's endured.Will he discover something stronger than himself, or will he succumb to the forces aiming to destroy him?

Any work of art takes time. In the case of a tapestry, it starts as an idea. The weaver gathers the raw materials and the tools to work them-thread, needles, shuttle, loom-prepares them, weaves them, and tamps them. Slowly, bit by bit, an image starts to appear; however, it's not until completion that the designer's vision is apparent.Randy Valimont wasn't sure what to make of the raw materials of his life. At first, he couldn't see how anything beautiful could be woven from some of the threads-a birth mother who abandoned him without looking at his face and birth father who didn't even know he existed-that made up his life. However, in the hands of his heavenly Father-the Master Weaver-he saw the threads of his adoptive family's unwavering support and his own faith, natural talents, training, and perseverance intersect into an intricately woven tapestry.Before he was born, the Master Weaver had a plan to use Randy-in his family, community, nation, and world-for God's glory. Randy's story is that of a man destined to share the hope of the gospel of Jesus Christ for this life and the next-one thread at a time.
