The Color of Miracles
The story of an unfinished painting, an unfinished soul, and the MIRACLE that changed everything.
Thomas Hall is an artist with astonishing talent... and he knows it. Since his days as a child prodigy, he has reveled in recognition and believed in his inevitable destiny. Chosen. Entitled. He presumes his artistic brilliance deserves a lavish life of independence, fast cars and drop-dead gorgeous women. Thomas Hall wants it all and more.
But God has other plans. When “Cass” the woman from the Healing Place, walks into Thomas’s life, nothing can ever be the same again.
Thomas finds himself faced with a challenge he could never have imagined, suspended between one client’s flat denial of the existence of God and the undaunted faith of a little girl named Christina. What he discovers about the child’s harrowing escape from death–and her inexplicable life-after-death experience, brings him face to face with the most frightening question of his life.
Academy Award-winning filmmaker Kieth Merrill writes a cinematic story of one man’s journey in search of his soul. The Color of Miracles introduces you to a fascinating cast of characters and takes you to a place you’ve never been ...and all of it with visual imagery that unspools like a movie in your mind.
"Color of Miracles is a powerful, gripping story about an artist wrestling with the questions of existence, purpose, meaning and, ultimately, faith. Kieth is a master storyteller and his work brings the Gospel to life in an imaginative, compelling way that inspires and challenges readers.
This book has something to teach all of us."

This is a book is a rewrite of his "The Evolution of Thomas Hall," and was sent to me as a Christmas Card from the Merrills. It had been a long time since I had read "Thomas Hall" so I didn't remember a lot of the book, but I really enjoyed this new version. He is such a talented man who is encouraged in his craft by his wife Dagny. It is a testament to the fact that it doesn't matter if you had a rough childhood, or if you think being rich and famous is a priority goal, when you learn to love like Jesus loved that is the key to living.

This book is a rewrite of "The Evolution of Thomas Hall". It has been a few years since I read Thomas Hall and this book is just as wonderful as the first. This is a thought-provoking and emotional novel that explores the personal transformation of Thomas Hall through art and faith.
The author does a great job of inviting the reader to reflect and explore your own personal transformation and the miracles that happen in everyday life.
