But after pushing him too far one evening, Grace storms off to the comfort of her own children, while Marty falls prey to a brutal home invasion. In an instant, the mighty patriarch has fallen. But Marty's not alone; others in Austin, TX have died. And when the lead detective, Ally Watters, digs deeper into Marty's attack, she finds striking similarities that link a family member to the recent murders.

In the tradition of A River Runs Through It, the book Healing the Fisher King: A Fly Fisher's Quest is the story of one man's fly fishing quest to the familiar waters of his childhood -- to the South Texas, primitive coastal estuary known as the Lower Laguna Madre. Lured by a desire to catch a giant speckled trout -- but directed by a luminous dream that points to the Laguna Madre as the setting for healing and transformation -- Sparrow takes his boat and his eight-year-old son on a journey from Virginia to South Texas that proves more difficult and more meaningful than he imagines. As Sparrow begins his search for the fish so aptly named named cynoscion nebulosus, or "starry nebulae," his experiences soon reveal the deeper dimensions of the quest, in which the search for a great fish mirrors his lifelong yearning for wholeness. He is led throughout by radiant dreams, his knowledge of spiritual traditions, and a willingness to face his own past with ruthless honesty.

Sacred Encounters with Jesus is a discerning and comprehensive account of how people still experience Christ. The nature of these experiences is that Jesus heals and transforms people just as he ministered to his broken-hearted and defeated disciples. The reader will enter into the miraculous experience of the terminally ill girl who was healed by Jesus' touch after her parents had already said their final good-byes, will share the shock of a psychotherapist who turned to see Jesus walking beside her one day, and will feel the incredulous wonder of a woman who reached up and touched Jesus' hair as he knelt beside her and prayed. These experiences raise the possibility that some people wilt readily accept and others will summarily dismiss -- that Jesus can be experienced as directly and as personally today as when he walked the earth 2,000 years ago.
