Bestselling author: Carol Kent

Bestselling author, Carol Kent has written a riveting journey of facing the impassible obstacles of life and discovering the last thing ever expected—the sweet spot of grace. Between a Rock and a Grace Place walks readers through the story of Carol Kent’s son, Jason, who had everything going for him in life, but committed a crime out of desperation that landed him in jail for life with no parole. Now, ten years later, Jason, Carol and her husband, Gene, have been living their lives between a rock and a grace place. Each chapter contains a letter from Jason, written from jail, where he reflects on his actions as well as the work God is doing through him behind bars. “It has now been more than a decade ago, right in the middle of my life, that I ran into a huge boulder—the likes of which I had never encountered on my lifelong walk with God,” says Carol. “It could have been my stopping place—the point at which I lost not only some of my most cherished dreams but also my faith, my joy, my purpose, and my passion to go on. Instead, I found out that the Rock in my path represented not an obstacle but an opportunity to encounter the living God in surprising, sometimes astonishing ways.” Join us for Carol's empowering testimony; learn how, in the midst of unthinkable obstacles, Carol discovered these obstacles were actually opportunities of "divine surprises!" Carol Kent is the bestselling author of When I Lay My Isaac Down and A New Kind of Normal. Carol is an expert on public speaking, writing, and on encouraging people to hold on to hope when life’s circumstances turn out differently from their dreams. She lives in Florida with her husband Gene.
