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.”

Talk 1: Putting Christ at the Center

1) Come start your day by praying the LIVE rosary with me—new spontaneous meditations every day! You’ll be part of a fantastic community of hundreds of people, whom we affectionately call the “Morning Glories.” You can find me (and sometimes special guests) on YouTube and on Instagram every weekday morning at 6:00 am CT. If that time doesn’t work for you, our recordings are always available online. On the weekends you can pray along with the “Kitty’s Morning Glories” community at 7:00 am CT on our Facebook page. You can also ask for prayer and will find other enriching content. Join us!

2) If you’re looking for a nuts-and-bolts primer on the spiritual life, check out my friend Dr. Brant Pitre’s new book, Introduction to the Spiritual Life. It’s a gem. And if you’re looking for exciting, relevant, free videos on the spiritual life, check out The Mission on the Mountain, where you’ll find some of my other videos, as well (even a cautionary tale about dabbling in the occult).
