In the antebellum South, Richmond and Carolyn Davidson live lives of ease as wealthy plantation owners. But even though their wealth and livelihood depends on slave ownership, their Christian consciences speak against the practice.
When the Davidsons decide to follow their own moral judgment and God’s will by freeing their slaves, they face consequences they never could have anticipated. Risking their lives as an important link in the Underground Railroad helping runaway slaves escape to the Northern states, the Davidsons must rely on their wits—and God’s protection—to stay alive.
Jackson Maxwell, Christian magazine reporter, begins routine research into the expanding global ministry of renowned evangelist Jacob Michaels. But when his questions about the Evangelize the World (ETW) organization focus on sensitive issues—the use of donations, an enormous development project, and certain skeletons in the closet—he is led into a maze of deception and scandal.
Hamilton Jaeger, Jacob Michaels’ assistant, manipulates people, money, and information for his own ambitious ends. He will not sit idle while an inquisitive reporter threatens his vision of a media empire dedicated to evangelism and the unity of the Christian Body—all under his direction.
Jackson’s professional obligation to truth, his loyalty to victimized friends, and his conviction that God’s representatives are accountable call for decisive action: Jaeger’s scheme must be exposed. Jackson Maxwell pursues the truth… and the secrets he uncovers will change lives forever.
