The Mansion

Más información sobre el libro

Artist's statement: "In a tale similar to A Christmas Carol, the wealthy John Weightman is generous to others, but for the wrong reasons. He is seeking the praises of men rather than doing the acts in secret. In a vivid vision, John is taken to the Kingdom of Heaven, where he sees many others who lacked in worldly wealth receiving grand mansions. When he is taken to his own heavenly reward, he is disappointed in the lean-to shack. He learns that because he received the praises of men for his good works, there was nothing left with which to build his mansion. In a true story of redemption, Weightman changes his ways and learns the true meaning of charity"--Vamp & Tramp, Booksellers, LLC website, viewed October 8, 2014.
