The Color of Miracles

by Kieth Merrill

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 have never imagined, suspended between one client’s flat denial of the existence of God and the undaunted faith of a little girl named Christina.

Reviews

[Sherry · Rating 5 out of 5]

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.
