  • Book cover of Be Not Afraid to Follow the Footprints from Heaven

    Does God really exist? Is there really any evidence for that? Can science prove that the Communion wine and bread actually turn into the flesh and blood of Jesus Christ? Does the Shroud of Turin validate the mystical resurrection of Christ through careful expert scrutiny? How can statues weep real human tears? How can the bodies of deceased holy persons not decay for centuries? What are angels – and what roles do they play? Want to hear how Heaven and Hell are described? And, historically, hundreds of people worldwide have documented appearances by the Virgin Mary! This just cannot be real … or is it? Psychiatric therapist John Carpenter takes you where few researchers have gone before. Like a logical detective amassing the supernatural evidence for your consideration, he presents historical accounts and miraculous events along with recent medical and scientific research to develop a credible and stunning conclusion. His evidence may bring you to a refreshing new spiritual awareness at a time when doubt, distraction, materialism, violence, and self-indulgence seem prevalent. The implications are both joyful and chilling as Carpenter slowly seduces the reader into following him through the labyrinth of divine mysteries created by those “footprints from heaven.” Be not afraid to take this journey and discover the Truth that could change your life!

  • Book cover of Final Absolution

  • Book cover of Bearing Witness

    It has been said that during times of war, the Muses fall silent. However, anyone who has read the major figures of mid-twentieth-century literature—Samuel Beckett, Richard Hillary, Norman Mailer, Albert Camus, Jean-Paul Sartre, and others—can attest that it was through writing that people first tried to communicate and process the horrors that they saw during one of the darkest times in human history even as it broke out and raged on around them. In Bearing Witness, John Carpenter explores how across the world those who experienced the war tried to make sense of it both during and in its immediate aftermath. Writers such as Alexander Solzhenitsyn and Theodore Plievier questioned the ruling parties of the time based on what they saw. Correspondents and writer-soldiers like John Hersey and James Jones revealed the chaotic and bloody reality of the front lines to the public. And civilians, many of who remain anonymous, lent voice to occupation and imprisonment so that those who didn’t survive would not be forgotten. The digestion of a cataclysmic event can take generations. But in this fascinating book, Carpenter brings together all those who did their best to communicate what they saw in the moment so that it could never be lost.
