Messages From Estillyen
With Messages from Estillyen, author William E. Jefferson has crafted a story as rich as it is deep. Ancient words render contemporary thoughts, and characters cast distinct shadows of human worth.
Explore Estillyen with Hollie and Goodwin Macbreeze. Hollie is a budding artist who has recently been diagnosed with a troubling disease. Her search for “normal” brings her to a place she never expected.
Goodwin is an architect seeking dreams – a young man drawn to Estillyen by a mystery from his childhood. On their Estillyen pilgrimage, the couple is thrust into a surprising crisis that brings them face-to-face with deep questions concerning, fate, God and destiny.
Along the way, you will also meet the colorful and lively monks of Estillyen—an ancient order of Message Makers who settled on the isle in 1637. The Estillyen monks are renowned for their dramatic readings based on classic Scripture narratives.
The readings interspersed throughout the story offer a unique presentation of the Gospel via the ongoing struggle be¬tween the forces of darkness and light, and the necessity for the solution in the ‘Word made flesh.’
Be prepared, though – forewarned, if you will. Messages from Estillyen is not a fast read novel. The storyline comprises 432 pages of thought provoking and timeless content.

“The author weaves the threads of his story deftly and often poetically, shaping phrases with a lilting rhythm that evokes the cadences of storytellers of old and enhances the aura of mystery that surrounds Estillyen and its inhabitants.”
