Perhaps help can come from a retired prison guard who has learned that life is more than just a career, and that the message is often found beyond the obvious.

The Gifts of the Guard includes each of the three original stories, "A Cross for Christmas", "An Angel for Easter", and "A Story for the Sabbath", plus the heartwarming sequel, "A Song for the Season".

Witness the Passion of Christ through the eyes of a scorned woman, a servant woman, and a spectator woman. See the events of the trial, the flogging, and the crucifixion of Jesus unfold from a new perspective.

In "A Story for the Sabbath", a young man's struggle in dealing with his suffering leads him to discover true purpose and meaning. Encounter heartfelt giving through the eyes of a servant man. Experience painful agony through the eyes of a shriveled man. Witness a miracle of Jesus through the eyes of a storyteller man.

In "A Song for the Season", find out how the stories all began...in the most unlikely of places. Witness the grace of God through the eyes of a man who lives as persecutor, prisoner, and proclaimer. One man, one grace. Experience the conversion of Paul through his own eyes.
