Becoming The Masterpiece You Were Created To Be
Tim Clinton and Max Davis
I have many of Tim Clinton's books and use them all the time for reference, research papers, and companion reading to my counseling classes. They have a place of honor on the "I use these all the time and need easy access" bookcase. All of the books are in the Christian Counseling genre and full of life-changing Jesus-focused wisdom.
When I saw this novella the other day, I was interested to see how Clinton's insight and heart would be expressed in a work of fiction.
Wonderfully, of course!
This is a lovely textured paperback book, pretty pages designed to look old, very easy to read. I read it in two sittings and enjoyed every page.
Adam Camp is experiencing crisis. His marriage to Paige is in shambles, his son addicted to drugs, Adam's life is falling apart. After a fight with his wife, Adam storms out of his house in search of escape...and meets an eccentric old man in the park, a meeting that changes Adam's life.
Jim Ed paints Adam's portrait in the park, all the while imparting words Adam needs to hear in his spirit. That very day Adam will make a decision that will change his life one way or another, forever. Jim Ed recounts stories from his own life, decisions, injustices, and the impact the love of his life, his dear Christina made in his days. Adam walks away from the encounter with the Impressionist's portrait in hand (how did Jim Ed see him?), toward an uncertain future, with a new-found understanding of who he is, but no clear answers as to what he needs to do next. What does Adam do? Read the book- and may we all have an encounter with the Impressionist!
