The world we live in can sometimes be an uncomfortable and confusing place. Through a riveting plotline and unique story, readers will discover why the God of the Bible offers the answers we crave in the midst of our chaos, and why we should love each other just as Christ loves us.

Why the author wrote this book:

We wanted to entertain and to inspire people to think for themselves. There are a lot of uncomfortable things that people of all walks of life like to sweep under the rug. This story pulls back the carpet in an elaborate, entertaining way that touches on a lot of different elements, and it exposes the dirt from every angle. We wanted to get people to think and realize that maybe we’re all not so different after all and God loves each of us just the same.
