My Review:
Adam Camp feels like his whole world is collapsing around him. As he and his wife have a major life altering argument he finds out that his son is using drugs again. If he didn't have bad luck, he wouldn't have any luck at all. As he walks through the city park trying to cool off before going back home to work out things with his wife---he runs into an old man that appears to be an artist. At the time Adam doesn't know it but this artist may hold the key to his future happiness. The painter convinces Adam to have a seat and be his muse for the moment.
As the painter takes a look into Adam's soul, they both learn a lot about who Adam is and what he wants and maybe needs out of life. Sometimes we have to look inward instead of assuming that it is the other person's fault in a discussion or argument. Adam needed time to reflect away from all the chaos that was now his life. God wants us to rely on Him and sometimes within the noise of the day it's hard to hear His voice. Through the heart of an old painter Adam's heart is revealed.
A heartwarming book sure to pull on your heartstrings as well as to inspire and encourage us along life's road.
