About the Book

"The Clock That Couldn't Tell Time" is a powerful and magical story of a family in need of a miracle, one that might be just like yours and mine. It is a caring family, but one that is experiencing stress from the loss of work and income. Benjamin, the family's resident ten year old "tweener" is caught between his own doubts and self-esteem issues and his dad's tension. He wants to help, to find a "magic cape" that would turn him into a super hero. No cape appears, but both Benjamin and dad look to an old family clock that might just solve their challenges. The clock isn't working, but along the way Benjamin meets a wonderful old clockmaker who becomes the mentor and friend that he so very much needs. This is a book about family, love, pain, and the uncertainty of being a middle-schooler or "tweener" as they are so often called. This is a book about healing, faith, and restoration. It is meant for people of all faiths, or those who struggle with faith itself. Beautifully illustrated with original drawings by master artist Paul Gully, the book's vibrant colors and expressions add to the delight and struggle of the story. Phil Stover is a Writer's Digest award-winning author whose narrative style engages the reader with the emotion of the story's characters. The book includes discussion questions for a class or family dialogue. "The Clock That Couldn't Tell Time" can be read and enjoyed in one sitting by the whole family. It is a short story with a long impact. Who knows, maybe one day you may need to look through your old closet to find your own special miracle too
