Quiet Miracles: A True Story of Love and Courage
Quiet Miracles A True Story of Love and Courage
Author:
One of the most popular authors ever to write for the Latter-day Saint fiction market. Frequent collaborator with his brother Blaine Yorgason. Inspiring, bestselling author of over 80 books. Motivating speaker of 2,500 keynotes and seminars. He reveals how to make internal changes to help you become value-based, productive, and energized. — Q... more » is powerful enough to be considered a modern parable. It is the stirring account of an unsung hero--a barber named Byron MacKay--whose love and courage prevailed over great obstacles. He and his wife, Caryl, faced trials together in an exemplary marriage, despite his severe physical disabilities.
Byron was not only a barber, he was a teacher. Those who sat in his chair enjoyed far more than a fine trim or close shave. Byron's gifts as a teacher enabled him to influence more than the outside of his customers' heads--the way their hair lay or how they looked. He had the uncommon ability to get inside their heads and into their hearts, sharing the things that mattered most to them. He made them not only look better but feel better--despite the pain he suffered himself.
A victim of rheumatoid arthritis throughout his adult life, Byron endured chronic pain in limbs and joints but kept it to himself. The warmth of his voice, the hum of his clippers, and the steady methodical clicking of his scissors seemed to overshadow his badly disfigured hands. His deep need to help people defied the limits of his disability. Jast as a conductor's baton orchestrates harmony, so did the sounds of service in Byron's shop create a soothing harmony. Amid the fragrance of hair creams and tonics, a simple haircut became something more.
Quiet Miracles portrays the intimate spiritual moments that prepare people to face whatever life hands them. Byron and Caryl MacKay's story of quiet miracles will stand alongside Blaine Yorgason's Charlie's Monument as a classic story of individual triumph.
