Tommy's Travels

by C.R. Madison

Tommy is a curious, sensitive boy, raised in the wilderness by wolves. He loves his life, yet an occasional sadness washes over him, as a reminder that his soul thirsts for something more. One day, Tommy’s heart welcomes a divine spark of love that washes away his sadness, renews him and cleanses his soul. Tears of joy stream down his face when his soul, hearing the knock on its door, opens up. Tommy, sometimes resembling “Doubting Thomas”, needs to see in order to believe, so he leaves his wolf family. Tommy sets out on a journey to discover the Source of his mysterious joy, a journey in which he also finds himself. Tommy’s Travels remind us that throughout our own journeys we must have faith, courage, patience, and self-acceptance, but we must also journey with gratitude, peace and love in our hearts. Influenced by the Elders Paisios and Porphyrios, whose teachings and lives in our times are close to the heart Orthodox spirituality, Dr Madison, through her text and wonderfully evocative illustrations, also conveys the significance of God’s natural world, of which we are all a part. Alexander Press takes great joy introducing agifted new author and illustrator, DrCassandra Roxy Madison. Through her wide experience from travel and study, Dr Madison has witnessed first-hand the signal importance of the spiritual development of children for their maturation into adults living in Christ in this world. Tommy’s Travels lovingly portrays this growth.
