God's Living Postcards
Author: David Parks

'God's Living Postcards' is the first feature length book by David Parks. — It is a story that closely parallels the author's life from 1991 to 2000 and beyond. The multilevel tale has a number of supporting themes including spiritual discovery, the awakening realization of happiness through creativity and grace in the face of aging and death.... more » It is essentially a series of closely interwoven short stories that is intended to educate, entertain and inspire.

David is a visual artist and as such paints with words and brings to lucid reality the diverse environments of major cities such as Paris or Hong Kong and the exquisite natural radiance of less densely populated destinations like Moorea. He does this by inserting himself as the book's central character. From this perspective he is well able to recreate the spaces in which he finds himself and to most effectively present the affiliated lessons and experiences.

'God's Living Postcards' depicts a decade long spiritual progression that is subtle early on and later blossoms into an evident love affair between a man and his God. Although that relationship takes place within the framework of the Christian faith, it is respecting and understanding toward all true spiritual seekers. It is not so much about establishing particulars in worship practice as it is about embracing the family of man in the ideal of faith, hope and love.

David eloquently works through some of the great challenges of life including the demise of romantic love, the frustration of empty employment and the finality and heartache of death. He avails himself to a lush tapestry of insights and they come from various sources within the wide-ranging backdrops. It is apparent that in his world there exists a great open walled class that is ever ongoing. There is merely a single requirement for admission; a mind hungry for wisdom and ultimate truth.

This is the story of one man's search for transcendence in the face of barrenness and despair. It is a near literal account of personal victory against the long odds of doubt and cynicism. It is an articulate affirmation that there is an abiding light in any darkness and that with our minds so attuned we will always be able to find it. 'God's Living Postcards' is an exultant celebration of the grand escapade that can be known at any time and in any place on this strange and marvelous place called Earth.
