ONE HOUSE. ONE FAMILY. COUNTLESS SECRETS.
JACOB TAMBLYN is not in the business of keeping tabs on his dysfunctional family. But when his widowed grandfather passes away suddenly, the patriarch’s last will and testament makes a substantial demand of Jacob and his estranged relatives: in order to claim their inheritances, everyone named in the will must work together long enough to clear out the home of the old man and his late wife.
ANDY TAMBLYN would love to know more about the family history that her husband, Jacob, refuses to divulge. Seeing the scenario as her big chance to glean better insight into her darling spouse, Andy joins him in the task–despite sentencing herself to the condemnation of her acerbic mother-in-law, Ruth.
But the assignment proves as overwhelming as it is dire when the family gathers in the house to find that their shrewd figurehead has spent the last year as a hoarder. Tensions rise and drama escalates as old grudges breathe new life, burdens exchange shoulders, and carefully buried secrets–the life-altering kind–threaten to come to light.
In “Faith Cometh,” Conrad Murrell dissects the rampant misinterpretation of faith in contemporary discourse, revealing its distortion by misguided religionists and unethical charlatans.
In the post-modern landscape, faith is often distorted, depicted as a tool for personal gain or the performance of miraculous feats. However, Murrell argues that true faith is not a means to selfish ends; rather, it constitutes the very essence of Christianity. His compelling prose not only challenges prevalent misconceptions but also emphasizes that genuine faith is not an optional addendum to Christianity-it forms the fundamental bedrock of the entire belief system.
While navigating the complexities of life, especially when seeking to discern God’s will, Murrell makes a poignant assertion: this journey begins with belief. According to him, this is not merely a casual acceptance but a profound, transformative act of God that elevates existence from mere survival to an intentional, purposeful spiritual walk, where every step is guided by authentic faith.
In “Marriage, Divorce, and Remarriage,” Conrad Murrell dismantles rigid traditions and emotional extremes surrounding some of the most sensitive topics in Christian ethics. With clarity and conviction, he invites readers to revisit the topics of marriage, divorce, and remarriage with fervent study in light of the whole counsel of Scripture.
In an age where broken homes and moral confusion abound-even within the church-Murrell refuses to offer easy answers. Instead, he guides the reader through biblical texts that many interpret hastily or dogmatically, raising pressing questions: Is every marriage joined by God? Can any be dissolved without sin? Does remarriage always constitute adultery? And can those with a complex marital history serve in church leadership?
Murrell’s purpose is not to cater to cultural convenience or hardened religious opinion but to “bind all that God has bound and loose all that God has loosed.” With pastoral compassion and theological precision, he addresses struggling believers weighed down by guilt or condemnation, challenging them to examine the Scriptures honestly and with an open Bible. Whether or not the reader agrees with his conclusions, this work forces a reexamination of commonly held views and aims to liberate the conscience of sincere Christians who desire to walk faithfully before God.
