My band, DeathStroke, dominated the world of rock. Yet strife ruled our inner circle. My family didn’t know me. I loved no one but myself.
And yet Karen Bayliss was praying for me, that I would come to know the love of God and the Lordship of Jesus Christ. She was not a fan, didn’t care for my music. Karen just wanted me to know peace.

For now. Soon it would be world news. No, this was no mere project – it was a mission from God.
The Immortal by Angela Elwell Hunt
Asher Goldman has been alive for more than 200 years for one purpose: to bear witness of Christ to the antichrist. Part history, part prophecy, part an embellished legend of the "Wandering Jew", "The Immortal" is a fictional account of one man's struggle to understand God's will and his place in God's history.
Without a Trace by Colleen Coble
When a plane carrying Bree Nichols’ husband and son disappears, her life changes forever. Her relentless determination to find them starts an investigation that links their disappearance to a violent crime threatening to tear the peaceful town of Rock Harbor apart.
