Creation of Calm

Book excerpt: As a young husband and father, Mark learned he had cancer. Through two bouts of the disease that spanned four years, he chose the posture of a seeker. Even when pain and treatments stole his ability to work or focus for periods of time, he captured moments of his journey as images, thoughts, and prayers in the sketchbooks that were his constant companions. This book brings together those moving, heartfelt moments, and the result is honest art, wrenching emotions, a little humor, and authentic spirituality. Mark s story shows that even in the midst of pain and uncertainty, there can be peace and calm.
