"There were times in my life when I thought it was all over, but God was able to bring new life, just as He did for Jesus." - Father Norm Supancheck
| | In 1966 in Southern California, twenty-somethings Norm Supancheck and Shayla Strohmeyer make a heartbreaking decision not to get married. Only one problem: they are deeply, acutely, irrevocably in love.
In the way of all wonder and mystery, their lives will parallel each other over the years in uncanny ways. Shayla will give her heart to another man and marry him instead. Norm, now a priest, will perform their wedding ceremony and bless their union. Shayla and her husband will raise a family. Norm will baptize their children. Shayla and her husband will move three states away. Norm will visit often and become an integral part of the family's lives.
As the years advance, the dark finger of mortality will beckon to them both, and Shayla's and Norm's lives will parallel each other in one final, poignant and lasting way.
Like a Nicholas Sparks novel, this book is powerful, lyrical, and beautifully surprising. It is for anyone who's ever sensed that the call to love extends beyond anticipatable boundaries. It's a story about being pulled between two worlds, about loving deeply and truly, but about expressing that love in ways not first imagined.
Father Norm Supancheck's touching and monumental memoir will comfort and challenge you. More than that, this incredible true story will undergird for you everything you've ever believed about the unshakable passion and devotion of a lifelong love. To get your copy now click here!
