About this audiobook
In this moving story a Christian author goes to a retreat center to grieve and face the hard questions about God that he is asking in the wake of these losses. If you have ever felt alone, betrayed, abandoned-if you have found yourself asking God why-this novel may be a source of hope. And if you have ever wondered what heaven is like, this book provides a beautiful vision. Room of Marvels is a masterful, dream-like tale that speaks to the eternal in the midst of our most painful earthly losses. This expanded edition of the beloved book has a new afterword from James Bryan Smith. Finding your room of marvels will give you reason to live. Again.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Tears , I can feel my heart. I can feel what the characters were feeling. I didn’t only join them in their world, I also felt their heart. Beautiful truths told in a beautiful way that spoke to my soul deeply. After finishing the book, I see the world differently. Something in me changed. And it’s lovely. Wow. Just wow. This book is a blessing. I thank all the people who are involved in publishing this wonderful book.
