House of Jesus: A Novel by R.T. Lawrence
$9.99 – $15.99
Just before sunset on January 12, 2010, a powerful earthquake hit Port-au-Prince, Haiti. Within a few terrifying minutes, over one-hundred thousand men, women, and children were killed. Thousands more were critically injured, and millions were displaced to rapidly erected tent cities or hospitals across the country. Swiftly came the international response. Health care professionals from every corner of the world dropped their work and descended on Haiti. Phillip Scott was a no-nonsense, suffer-no-fools Seattle trauma surgeon. His response to his university dean’s memo looking for volunteers was, “I’m not interested in charity work. It’s not my thing.” After all, if you build a city of a million on cinder blocks on a fault line you’re asking for trouble, right? But what happens when such a man is immersed in a catastrophic human tragedy? When the victims become human, not statistics?

Jeff Custer –
The House of Jesus by R.T. Lawrence was an enjoyable read. The author’s Christian perspective flowed through without being “preachy”. The main character, Dr. Philip Scott, reflects many men I know who live without a personal faith to order their lives. Dr. Scott becomes aware of a spiritual dimension of life that he has long ignored before the events of the story. I identified with his growing appreciation of a spiritual life that can’t be quantified in a lab but but whose reality can not be denied. His encounters through his experiences in Haiti were realistic and moving. This budding of his spiritual life is exciting and a pleasure to read.
