Chowbingo


en Limba Engleză Paperback
This fast moving tale of Christian fiction joins the inquisitive nature of youth with the instinctive spirit of a dog to address universal evil. Here is an adventure where adults are returned to their times of childhood wonderment, a time before their dreams were dismissed through the cynical eyes of adulthood. Their journey, with all of its moral complexity and tough decisions, reveals some of life's very special gifts previously laid to rest before the altar of despair and bewilderment. Chowbingo and his companions operate beneath the radar of this book's adult characters as they enter into an open relationship with Val, a pre-teen youth. Do we know that heaven is for real? Do dragons watch angels fall through space? Join with his companion Val, as he struggles through his adolescent youth to learn the secret to unlocking a door to those promised gifts and treasures which have always been his, just for the asking. Learn, from this simple tale, how to move from failure and confusion to peace and satisfaction, no matter if rich or poor, young or old. Come with Chowbingo, in this family friendly book, and travel to places where you will discover that truth can truly be stranger than fantasy.

Notă biografică

Philip's ability to weave a story will captivate the attention of the most seasoned reader. An author whose life has taken him from privilege, to despair, to redemption, Philip has been able to translate his journey from a failure of self-reliance, through the labyrinths of moral confusion, to his final redemption by "letting it all go." It is here that our author found, through faith, the peace and contentment that he enjoys today. Although a successful construction manager and acknowledged construction defect litigation witness, his personal life, nonetheless, was fraught with the ravages of alcohol, the feelings of imminent failure, and the discomfort of unrelenting self-doubt. There was no amount of success that could remedy it, nor any amount of failure that would release it. Not until he began sharing the inspired tales of Chowbingo with his wife, Diane, to help replace the childhood she was denied, did he begin to fill the emptiness from within his own void. Philip and Diane presently share their time between New Orleans and Southern California where they maintain two residences. California is native to Philip and the place where he enjoyed unreasonable highs and suffered unexpected lows. New Orleans, a city of history and imagination remains, for Philip, the magical place where he was able to write Chowbingo, a story of fantasy adventures and moral truths. Here Philip learned to take his characters from failure and confusion to peace and satisfaction; magical perhaps for Chowbingo, but realistic moral truths, for us, no matter that we are rich or poor, young or elderly.
