by Tommy MoyaEl pastor Tommy Moya nunca se imaginó que después de dos décadas en el ministerio y de ser testigo de la restauración de cientos de personas, que a él mismo le tocaría vivir una dura prueba de la que solo la gracia de Dios lo rescataría.

Esperanza y evidencias... * La evidencia de que Dios es capaz de levantar al caído y no carece de oportunidades * La evidencia de que someterse a su proceso puede ser doloroso, pero vale la pena * La evidencia de que la gracia de Dios se nutre del corazón contrito * La evidencia de que también la familia puede ser restaurada * ¡La evidencia de que para Dios nada es imposible!

He is at first dead-set against the idea, and of course his tyrannical father forbids it. But the school's headmaster, Kaitlyn, a student assigned to be his guide, and Mr. Freedman continue to encourage him to consider it. <P><P> His father and the Priests, the local Mafia-like crew that run Detroit's organized crime, have other plans for McCutcheon.

Mr. Freedman turns out to have a very mysterious past and not only helps McCutcheon find his sister but also his mother who had simply disappeared on McCutcheon's 13th birthday.
