{"product_id":"in-thy-dark-streets-shineth-maryclare-stfrancis-9798340766427","title":"In Thy Dark Streets Shineth: A memoir in essays","description":"Growing up, I heard a lot about God. After all, I went to a fundamentalist church every time the doors were open. The problem was that I never met Jesus. By the time I was coming of age, I had given up believing that God would ever love me, and so I went off into the world of homelessness, gangs, prostitution, and spiritual evil. This essay collection is based on the old hymn \"O Little Town of Bethlehem.\" Often there were songs I had learned that kept me company even in the darkest moments of my life, and this was one of them. Structured in a narrative that starts in hell, goes to purgatory, and ends in heaven, I tell the stories of when the streets and my life were dark, but what happened when I met Jesus and the light shone in the darkness. Just like the song, the essays talk about the hopes and fears of all the years being met in Jesus.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Maryclare Stfrancis\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798340766427\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/05\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 238\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.62lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.50d","brand":"Maryclare Stfrancis","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":49167326249215,"sku":"9798340766427","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/in-thy-dark-streets-shineth-maryclare-stfrancis-9798340766427","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
