Atl. - If a spiritual adventure is what you are looking for, then The Twelfth Window, by J.M. Norwood is just for you. High school student, Lisa Chess, finds her world colliding with Heaven, through an ancient, religious prophecy.

There are twelve windows in her house of worship. Eleven of the windows have vivid pictures on them, each telling its individual story from thousands of years before. The twelfth window is blank, as was the custom of that time, signifying the unfinished work of the relationship between humans on earth and Atael-in-Heaven.

Lisa dreams about a prophecy that will one day be depicted on the twelfth window. Lisa Chess and her friends become direct participants in the unfolding of this ancient prophecy, leading them all to discover the ultimate Reality.

The Twelfth Window is an allegory about the relationship between God and Israel and the history of human salvation. This drama of a supernatural revelation is played out during the 1980s high school experience of Lisa and her friends.

“Your book was a good read - hooked me after a few chapters. I couldn't put it down. Got back to it on Sunday and finished it Monday. (Thank goodness I had a Labor Day holiday to finish it up.) How come every school has a "student" like Monte? This book is relatable to anyone that has gone through school. (Duh, that's like all of us.) I found myself frustrated that Lisa decided to dump Michael. I also got the "not so" hidden meanings that related to events/teachings in the Bible. This is a love story with eternal ramifications.”

“The Twelfth Window was such a pleasure to read! Once you start reading it you really can’t put it down, it engages you intellectually and emotionally. It’s a great story that takes you on the journey of a young woman, Lisa, and her friends from childhood to adulthood discovering the true meaning of life along the way. This book gives the reader an appreciation of true love and friendship, which is described so beautifully between the characters. The book transports the reader between the physical world and the supernatural world (slightly reminiscent of the CS Lewis books). I highly recommend this book, it is a fun, feel-good read for all ages. The message of true love, friendship, and goodness is refreshing and needs to be shared with as many readers as possible.”

—G. Weiman, New York City, 10/4/2007

“The story of Lisa's adolescent struggles is told with a refreshingly new twist and much deeper meaning. This 80s kid is reminded that faith is truly a BLESSING.”

Parents and teens alike will appreciate this book as it encourages one to study, pray, be faithful to good friends, be obedient, and lead good lives.
