The Healing Bowl
ByPublisher Description
A13th-century Franciscan monk shares a profound story. In his youth, his ambitions to teach were thwarted by the monastery's leaders. His penance: to carve a bowl while fasting, devoid of any desire. This simple, unremarkable bowl, crafted in a state of pure focus, later reveals miraculous healing powers, curing a friar's wound and a man's physical deformity. However, the mysterious power of this humble object's power takes a dark turn.
