Diamantes En La Noche
$14.99Add to cartCrees en los angeles? -Me preguntaron un dia. – !Claro que si! -respondi de inmediato.
Lo que jamas imagine es que ellos, los angeles, fueran a intervenir en mi vida de la forma en que lo hicieron. Esta podria ser la reflexion de Julio, el protagonista de Diamantes en la noche.
El y su esposa Sara son un matrimonio feliz; tienen dos hijas y tres nietos. Ambos aman a Dios y le sirven mientras disfrutan de una hermosa estabilidad en todos los ambitos de su vida.
De pronto, su existencia se ve dinamitada por un comunicado que quiebra los pilares de su vida.
De tal calibre es el seismo, que la fe de Julio se resquebraja y comienza una feroz lucha entre la esperanza y la desesperacion.
En este drama interviene el mundo de la luz, utilizando como cauce a tres nios que, sin duda, haran vibrar las fibras mas sensibles de los lectores. Pero tambien interviene el mundo de la oscuridad. De ese modo comprobaremos que lo que ocurre en nuestro ambito natural no es sino un reflejo de la batalla que se libra en el mundo espiritual. Asistiremos a la confrontacion entre las dos grandes superpotencias: el bien frente al mal. La luz frente a las tinieblas. Un principado frente a un Rey. Pero una de las dos superpotencias reconocera la supremacia de la otra.
Diamantes en la noche dibujara sonrisas y provocara risas, pero tambien humedecera los ojos con frecuencia y ablandara el barro de nuestro corazon, tornandolo en arcilla moldeable.
Pero sobre todo, avivara nuestra fe.
Do you believe in angels? – They asked me one day.
– Of course! – I answered immediately.
What I never imagined is that they, the angels, were going to intervene in my life the way they did.
This could be the reflection of Julio, the protagonist of Diamonds in the Night.
He and his wife Sara are a happy marriage; they have two daughters and three grandchildren. Both love God and serve Him while enjoying beautiful stability in all areas of their lives.
Suddenly Julio’s existence is energized by a statement that breaks the pillars of his life.
Of such caliber is the earthquake that Julio’s faith cracks, and a fierce struggle between hope and despair begins. The world of light intervenes in it, and it does so using as a channel three children that will undoubtedly make vibrate the most sensitive fibers of the readers. But the world of darkness also intervenes. In this way we will verify that what happens in our natural environment is nothing but a refle Continue Reading Diamantes En La Noche

Gail’s American Tragedy in Trilogy. The reader is propelled from Manhattan boardrooms to European capitals to Middle East laboratories to Church chanceries and confessionals. Step into these pages and follow Fr. John Sweeney and the families he serves as they struggle to live their Catholic faith in a world that grows more hostile with every turn of the page.

You will see something of your own soul in these characters as they struggle to survive the great apostasy and navigate their way to the Church’s promised New Springtime.

Fatherless (Reprinted)
$19.95Add to cartAn intensely human tour of the great spiritual battles in the US Catholic church during the late 20th century. Brian Gail takes us out into the trenches and shows what life was like for Catholics during this critical time. Meticulously researched, brilliantly crafted, Fatherless takes the reader on an unforgettable journey inside Fortune 500 boardrooms and Madison Avenue screening rooms, behind one-way mirrors in America’s heartland and two-way screens in church confessionals, to the very peak of Ireland’s highest mountain and inside the papal dining room of John Paul II in Rome. It is the searing journey to the center of conscience, however, that marks Fatherless as the signature Catholic novel of its generation. In its pages we meet flesh and blood characters – noble and flawed, driven and seeking; each struggling to achieve the American Dream … discovering instead a uniquely American nightmare. How each confronts the reality of ethical and moral dilemmas – while struggling to balance faith, family, and career – goes to the very heart of the Catholic experience in America in the late 20th and early 21st centuries. This is a tale you will never forget. Continue Reading Fatherless (Reprinted)

$16.99Add to cartWhen her grandmother injures herself sliding into third base, Riley McAllister must return to her small hometown to help run the family yarn store in this sweet, lighthearted romantic comedy.
Riley McAllister left the small Arkansas town of Maple Falls after graduating high school, hoping to make it big in New York as a mixed media artist. She’s still pursuing her dream when her grandmother begs her to come home and help her manage the store while she recovers from a broken leg she got after sliding into third base during a church softball game (she was safe, by the way). Riley agrees, planning to convince her grandmother to sell the old shop and retire so Riley can get back to the big city. New York is where she belongs, not some hick town that doesn’t even have a decent coffee shop.
Hayden Price’s life hasn’t turned out as he expected either. He still works in the hardware store his family has owned for several generations after his chance to make it out of Maple Falls ended when he blew out his pitching arm during a minor league game. Stuck with debt from college and a broken engagement, he decides to make the best of things when he comes back to Maple Falls and puts together the town’s first church softball team–with him as coach, of course.
Riley and Hayden went to high school together but ran in totally different circles. In fact, it’s safe to say they hated each other. Will that change when the softball team unexpectedly brings them together? Or will the pain and disappointment of their past failures keep them from discovering love in Maple Falls?
