New York Times Best Seller: At a crossroads in their lives,
12 troubled souls seek guidance and comfort from a mysterious
stranger.
Many years have passed since the Sanctuary was built as a refuge for the
lost. It is just two marble rooms: one for those waiting to be heard and
one for the Man Who Listens. Drawn to it are the grieving, the
despairing, the cynical, the defeated, the dying, the betrayed, and the
broken. They know that the Man Who Listens accepts every blasphemy,
every pitiful excuse, and every intimate tale of degradation with silent
understanding. Now, 12 new souls are about to seek help for their
unimaginable anguish . . . .
Among them, a mother forsaking her faith in the wake of her child's
leukemia; a suicidal working man who has lost his business and his
family; a beleaguered African American who has reached his breaking
point; an artist going blind and mad; a little boy who has never known
happiness; and a disbelieving cop who furiously seeks out the Sanctuary
for one purpose: to expose the Man Who Listens as a fraud. Their
desperate struggles have brought them to the Sanctuary for resolution,
absolution, and the answers to life's great mysteries.
In this uplifting sequel to her best-selling novel The Listener,
author Taylor Caldwell illuminates the spiritual crises of our time and
brings into simple yet triumphant focus the transformative power of
faith and forgiveness.
