“Many in our modern world struggle to commit to prayer, or to recommit to the prayer time that may have slipped away. Gina Witt offers here a simple and beautiful way back. It is a kind of blueprint for daily prayer. It is neither overwhelming in terms of details, nor vague. After introductory remarks, she sets forth a daily ritual with opportunities to reflect and journal. It is indeed a 30-day prayer prescription for better spiritual health. Please read and share this wonderful new book.” – Msgr. Charles Pope, Archdiocese of Washington, D.C.
“Time and time again in this exorcism and deliverance ministry we witness the power of God as wielded by the Church. The Mass and Eucharist, Confession and other sacraments are wonderful graces of healing and salvation. Moreover, the Church’s many sacramentals, especially the Rite of Exorcism itself, are uniquely powerful in protecting the faithful and casting out evil spirits. But we often overlook the importance of our personal prayer with the Lord. Over the years I have witnessed that liberation is expedited and sustained by a fervent personal prayer life. Developing a solid prayer life and regular reception of the sacraments is most important in the process of sanctification and liberation. This 30-day prescription is an effective tool in beginning to grow in this all-important personal relationship with Jesus Christ who is the ultimate exorcist!” – Msgr. Stephen J. Rossetti PhD, DMin, President and Founder, St. Michael Center for Spiritual Renewal
“Rooted in Scripture and the Church’s tradition, this journal is a healer’s kit for the soul. Clear, pastoral, and bold, it invites beginners and veterans into daily prayer that births freedom, gratitude, and courageous faith.” – Dr. Sebastian Mahfood, author of The Narrative Spirituality of Dante’s Divine Comedy: a hundred-day guided journal

This book explores the profound mystery of human suffering through a lens of Christian faith. Drawing from theology, philosophy, and personal witness, Keithen Hamilton reflects on how pain, while deeply challenging, can become a place of encounter with God. This compelling work offers spiritual insight, hope, and purpose to those navigating trials, presenting suffering not as meaningless, but as a paradoxical path to healing, transformation, and divine intimacy.
Paperback $12.95 | Kindle $9.99
“Keithen Hamilton’s The Suffering Paradox is a powerful invitation to discover grace in pain. It reframes suffering as sacred encounter—deeply theological, beautifully written, and spiritually transformative. A must-read.” — Dr. Sebastian Mahfood, OP, co-author with Ronda Chervin of Catholic Realism: A Framework for the Refutation of Atheism and the Evangelization of Atheists
Keithen Hamilton is a Catholic, a devoted husband, and the father of four boys. The Suffering Paradox was not something he set out to write—it emerged from a deep, inescapable inner compulsion. After much prayer and reflection, he came to believe he was called to write this book for those who carry the quiet, persistent weight of daily suffering.
While many books address catastrophic loss, few speak to the unseen struggles—those who must rally themselves just to face each day. Hamilton writes for the ones who minimize their pain with thoughts like, “My suffering is nothing compared to my ancestors,” “Toughen up, this is what it means to be a man,” or “It’s not about you, it’s about your family.” He speaks to those who, day after day, pray for change or simply for an end.
Though born and raised Catholic, Hamilton spent more than a decade exploring atheism and agnosticism, wrestling deeply with the problem of suffering. What began as a search for religious truth became an extended study of suffering itself, including five months focused solely on understanding pain and its role in the human experience.
What he found was unexpected: suffering is not to be avoided but embraced as a uniquely human path to Truth, Beauty, and Goodness. This book shares that discovery, challenges the prevailing view of suffering, and invites readers to recognize the divine in what is so often dismissed or feared.

Abrí la Biblia un día hermoso y leí: “Y mientras bajaban del monte, Él [Jesús] les ordenó que no contaran a nadie lo que habían visto, hasta que el Hijo del hombre resucitara de entre los muertos. Y ellos guardaron el asunto entre sí, preguntándose qué significaba eso de resucitar de entre los muertos” (Mc 9,9-10). “¿No contar a nadie lo que habían visto?”, me pregunté. “¿Por qué tanto secreto?”
La venida de Jesús hace 2000 años con su Misión salvífica para redimir a la humanidad caída y perdida por el pecado fue profetizada durante siglos por los profetas del Antiguo Testamento. Por tanto, no debería haber sido una sorpresa para aquellos que conocían las Sagradas Escrituras; es decir, los fariseos, los saduceos y los escribas. ¡Pero eso fue precisamente lo que sucedió! Y no solo no lo reconocieron, sino que lo trataron como a un delincuente común y lo crucificaron.
PREGUNTA: “¿Por qué estos ‘expertos en religión’ no lograron reconocer a Jesús como el Mesías prometido? ¿Se les ocultó intencionalmente información crucial?” Después de cientos de años de profecías sobre Él, ¿qué más información podían necesitar o desear que no les hubiera sido ya dada por los profetas, o incluso por el mismo Jesús? Las respuestas a estas preguntas tan intrigantes, basadas en el misterioso Secreto Mesiánico, se revelan aquí en este fascinante y fácil de leer libro.

“Juan Novo ofrece una exploración profunda y accesible del Secreto Mesiánico, invitando a los lectores a una fe y comprensión más profundas en Cristo. Lectura esencial para catequistas, teólogos y buscadores por igual.” — Dr. Sebastian Mahfood, OP, coautor con Ronda Chervin de Catholic Realism: A Framework for the Refutation of Atheism and the Evangelization of Atheists
Juan Novo nació en La Habana, Cuba, siete años antes que el régimen comunista de Castro tomo el control totalitario de esta floreciente isla paradisíaca, y que eventualmente, la convirtió en un espectro aislado y degradado de su antigua gloria. Llegó a EE.UU. no acompañado cuando tenía nueve años a través de la “Operación Pedro Pan,” una operación clandestina que logró rescatar a más de 14,000 menores Cubanos no acompañados del endoctrinamiento comunista y control por el régimen comunista de Castro. La operación, que finalizó con la Crisis de los Misiles Cubanos en 1962, fue dirigida por monSeñor Bryan O. Walsh, de la Catholic Welfare Bureau en Miami, Florida.
A los diecinueve años, Juan se había convertido en un músico profesional y se ganaba la vida como percusionista tocando música en la zona de San Francisco contratado por los estudios Warner Brothers en una banda llamada “Fat City.” En 1976, se graduó del Spokane Falls Community College con títulos tanto en teoría musical como en reparación y restauración de instrumentos musicales, y lleva 50 años ejerciendo como técnico profesional en este campo.
El Sr. Novo fundó el Comité de Investigación y Desarrollo de la Asociación Nacional de Técnicos Profesionales de Reparación de Instrumentos de Banda (NAPBIRT) en 1983, y fue aquí donde le “picó” por primera vez el “gusanillo de la escritura de investigación.” Juan acabó publicando una obra titulada “The Grenadilla Story” (La Historia de la Grenadilla), un estudio de investigación en profundidad sobre la madera negra Africana, una madera dura Africana que se ha utilizado para fabricar instrumentos musicales de viento/madera durante más de un siglo. El informe reveló que la preciada madera estaba al borde de la extinción, lo que condujo años más tarde a programas de replantación con éxito. El Sr. Novo ha escrito artículos técnicos de reparación y restauración publicados en la revista comercial de la Asociación, “TechniCom.” Su trabajo con instrumentos musicales han aparecido en varios documentales de televisión y se han publicado artículos sobre él y su trabajo en periódicos, revistas y publicaciones periódicas nacionales y extranjeras. Aunque Juan cambió de profesión y se dedicó a tiempo completo a la reparación de instrumentos musicales en 1976, siguió tocando la percusión como “pasatiempo” y ha actuado en conciertos con leyendas del jazz como Dizzy Gillespie e Ira Sullivan.
Desde 1983, el Sr. Novo fabrica boquillas de madera de Grenadilla de modelo profesional para la flauta de concierto de metal que tocan hoy en día flautistas aficionados y profesionales por todo el mundo entero. Entre 1981 y 1984, el Sr. Novo obtuvo dos patentes estadounidenses sobre diseños de instrumentos musicales. Una de ellas, la patente # 4,685,373, es para la flauta transparente FANTASIA que inventó en 1984: una flauta transparente de calidad profesional que se ilumina con luces de colores durante la interpretación. El primer instrumento de este tipo, construido en 1985, fue encargado por el difunto Julius Baker, flautista principal de la Orquesta Filarmónica de Nueva York. Este instrumento fue adquirido posteriormente por el fallecido flautista de Latin-Jazz neoyorquino Dave Valentin y aparece en uno de sus álbumes titulado “Light Struck.” La flauta FANTASIA entró en la historia de las patentes de EE.UU., ya que fue el primer instrumento musical de viento iluminado al que la Oficina de Patentes de EE.UU. concedió una patente. Como consecuencia de ello, hubo que crear una nueva división para ella, y al día de hoy, sigue siendo el único instrumento de este tipo en su clase.
A finales de los 80, Juan fue durante un tiempo editor del “Sunshine Jazz Messenger,” el boletín de la Sunshine Jazz Organization de Miami, y en 1990, su boquilla de flauta Grenadilla, interpretada por Dave Valentin, apareció en la banda sonora de la película “La Habana,” protagonizada por Robert Redford. El presente libro, “Una Raza Redimida,” es el último y más importante trabajo de investigación del Sr. Novo. Juan es Católico practicante, miembro de los Caballeros de Colón, y un ávido estudioso de la teología y la filosofía Católica. Actualmente trabaja a tiempo parcial para una empresa que se dedica a la educacion musical para niños.
