The Book in the Drawer: Finding Light in Life’s Darkest Rooms

The Book in the Drawer: Finding Light in Life’s Darkest Rooms
By Rev. Jimmy Davis

In the misty hills of Carolina stands a weathered house with a lantern always burning—a quiet refuge for the broken, the lost, and the weary. Widow Mary never intended to open a boarding house, but after her husband’s death, she kept the doors open, believing every soul deserves a second chance. Inside her humble home, rooms are filled not only with creaky beds and patchwork quilts but with stories—raw, redemptive, and real.

From a war-torn drifter to a grieving widow, an ex-con seeking peace, and a moonshiner outrunning more than the law, each guest crosses her threshold with a burden. But in every room lies a washstand drawer, and in each drawer, a worn Gideon Bible waiting to be opened.

These are the stories of people who had nothing left—except one more night. One more prayer. One more chance to believe.

The Book in the Drawer is a powerful tapestry of grace woven through the darkest corners of the human soul. With lyrical storytelling and deep spiritual resonance, Rev. Jimmy Davis invites readers into a house where redemption flickers in every room and hope is never too far gone.

Step inside—and discover the light that still shines in the dark.
