Description

<p>Kyle hesitated as he came to the doors of the library before opening them and slipping inside. Book dust wafted in the air, illuminated by golden shafts of light that poured in from the tall windows. The rotunda of bookshelves surrounded a wooden desk, where an old woman sat in a wooden chair.</p><p>.</p><p>Kyle bit his lip self-consciously as the woman smiled at him. “Come here, child,” she said in a grandmotherly voice. “Step into the light.”</p><p>.</p><p>Kyle approached cautiously.</p><p>.</p><p>“You’ve come for a book?”</p><p>.</p><p>Kyle could only nod. "Reading is the only way I can escape my present circumstances, the endless consequences of past mistakes," he thought.</p><p>.</p><p>The old woman scurried across the room and plucked a blue book off the shelf. The gold letters of the title lit up softly in the radiant surroundings: Kyle Meyers. "What?" Confusion filled his mind.</p><p>.</p><p>“Go ahead.” The woman smiled. “Open it.”</p><p>.</p><p>Kyle grasped the book and flicked through the pages. Memories of joy and sorrow—of each moment of his life—danced across the pages.

He reached to tear it out, but the woman laid a gentle hand on his arm.</p><p>.</p><p>“Keep going,” she whispered. Painfully, Kyle continued through the memories till he came to a page that reflected his own face.</p><p>.</p><p>“The past mistakes and sins that plague us can be fuel used for regret and shame,” the woman said, “or they can be used to show how much God can change us! He will use those chapters of your life. And Jesus will walk with you every step of the way.”</p><p>.</p><p>Kyle’s eyes filled with tears.</p><p>.</p><p>“Let the Great Author take those pages and use them for something better than you could imagine!”</p><p>.</p><p>Kyle looked back at the page and watched the tear stains on his face glow, then dissipate. As he closed
