Behold, a Sower

Drug addiction is a scourge upon the back of humanity. Many who were once in bondage to a substance have been freed by the power of the Holy Spirit. In Behold, A Sower, a re-working of the parable of the sower and the soils, the issue of chemical dependency and its impact on a family is explored. Mark 4:1-20 comes alive in this contemporary tale, filled with imagery and symbolism. Tilly Fields sows the Word of God to her orphaned grandchildren, who grow up to become enslaved by their addictions; Waylon Fields is a Miami Beach model with a red Corvette and a cocaine habit; Peter Fields is a hard-drinking and brawling longshoreman; Thorne Fields is a prison inmate, addicted to the use and sale of crack-cocaine; and Eartha Fields-Truman is a middle-school teacher hooked on prescription pills and a compulsive lifestyle. This Christian-based novel is a story of crushing discouragement and gleaming hope, which revolves around true-to-life characters.
