Winner of the 2023 Next Generation Indie Award for General Fiction:
The Face of God is the story of a commercially successful but dissipated pop artist who rediscovers himself and his art through a contract to sculpt the face of God. This story of redemption winds through the New York art scene and high society, through the poor, mean streets of Salvador, Bahia and through the muddied waters of the Rio Xingu in the lower Amazon.
Excerpts for The Face of God
“A thoughtful, engaging meditation on the intersection of artistic and spiritual integrity.” -- Kirkus Reviews.
“The Face of God is certainly a masterpiece…The story lingers on in the reader’s mind long after the reading is done. Fans of contemporary drama will find (it) a wonderful read!” -- Lily Amanda, Pacific Book Review.
“This metaphor for how people change through their work and relationships is convincing… and posits an intriguing incarnational theology.”-- Mari Carlson, The US Review of Books.
