From Prison to Paradise: A Story of Radical Trust in God's Divine Mercy
This title will be released on February 14, 2025
Deacon Carl Cleveland was a loving, successful, faithful man when his world came crashing down. Sentenced unjustly to prison, he endured the loss of all he had: his reputation, home, career, and family. From Prison to Paradise is the moving and inspirational account of Carl and his family discovery of God’s mercy and peace in the midst of their ordeal. Kitty Cleveland, an acclaimed singer and retreat leader, shares her own journey of surrender and trust, along with her father’s captivating and often humorous stories from “the inside.” Immaculee Ilibagiza, survivor of the Rwandan genocide and bestselling author, writes, “If you have ever struggled to make sense of suffering, forgive, or renew your faith, this book has something for you.”

Thank you, Kitty. The song for Pope John Paul II is beautiful. I heard you for the first time when you sang “You Are Mine” on EWTN. I felt like Jesus was talking to me through your song, and only your rendition touches me this way. I thank you, and I thank God for creating […]

Kitty, This is absolutely beautiful – thank you for sharing your beautiful talents with all for the glory of our Lord! I was given your Divine Mercy CD for Christmas by Diana Stieffel, a lady I went to Rome with 5 years ago (a group of us from St. Dominic visited Fr. Christopher Nalty too!) […]

What Others Are Saying about the “Be Not Afraid” CD
(Re: Be Not Afraid CD, 2007) Most impressive is the consistency sustained throughout the album. Cleveland’s abiding faith and reverence for God forms the basis of every song. And, as such, it’s difficult to pick favorites since it’s the kind of record that can be played repeatedly, from the first track to the last, without tiring of it…"Eye of the Storm" captures the full strength of Cleveland’s artistry. With a gospel choir that gives the sound a heavenly measure, Cleveland has offered the world a gift that, obviously, was divinely inspired. A tribute to the survivors of Hurricane Katrina, this song could elevate Kitty Cleveland to star status. B. B., Music Connection Magazine, Los Angeles, CA
Kitty, your concert was so beautiful–I immediately liked EVERY selection when you sang it and again as I heard it going home on the CD! By now,my daughter and I have memorized all of the songs pretty much, and we compete for who gets the CD at home. We have "joint custody"–taking turns with listening to it at home, and then agreeing to listen to it first in the car!! Mary T, Kenner, LA
I got Kitty's newest CD in the mail a couple of days ago and I think I've listened to it 4 times since yesterday. It's awesome! Anyway, I just love the CD…Caroline S., Washington, DC
The new Be Not Afraid CD is fabulous. I was crying so hard yesterday listening to it I could hardly get out of my car and go into church without looking like I was a basket case! Kitty is being used as an instrument in God's hand to draw people into a higher place of worship and awe. I quickly ran out and bought a bunch more to give as gifts. Jan T., New Orleans, LA
Dear Kitty, I just had to write and thank you so much for being there for all of us at the Women's Day at St. Luke. You sound even more beautiful in person. I am so glad I purchased your "Be Not Afraid" CD. "Fragrance Prayer" really brings the Holy Spirit into my heart as soon as I hear it. It fills me with joy. Your Eye of the Storm song brings chills all over me. As you were singing "I will fly to you" a dove landed on one of the windows above the stained glass Jesus. I know because I have a family of doves that lives in my tree in my yard. Anyway, I just knew that the Holy Spirit flew to watch you sing that beautiful song and to be with us. It still brings tears to my eyes. Thank you for giving us such a wonderful gift and being part of such a wonderful day. And thank you again for sharing the gift God gave you with your voice and songwriting. Patrycja B, Slidell, LA
