About this ebook

Evan’s faith journey encounters a seemingly insurmountable obstacle when his wife is violently taken from him. Languishing in grief and despair a phone call upends his self-imposed exile. Gradually, he becomes aware of a trail of suspicious events. His questioning begins to entangle police officers, a past acquaintance who similarly suffered loss, a reporter and a work colleague of his wife. Their involvement initiates repercussions.
The tactics of this group prove unconventional and in exposing a major conspiracy places them in jeopardy. The Global Church was anything but an authentic religious body. In its operation it reflected the creed of humanism, of man’s pre-eminence and of pleasure and happiness as being the ultimate goal for human existence.
As Evan tries to deal with the challenges of interacting with people and coming to terms with looking beyond mortality to an eternal dimension, he finds a small booklet that his wife had used. It gave him advice and confidence for the battle ahead. The instructions all came down to one word—stand.

What does a retired teacher do? Especially a teacher with a hyperactive imagination and ingrained work habits. Well this one writes. And being a Christian, each novel I have written necessarily is pieced together from a Christian perspective.I have a broad range of interests which include science and technology, mathematics, travel, sports and the interrelationship of people. Much of what intrigues me about people is that some pursue truth with the determination of a bloodhound while others almost ignore existential ideas and while away their short time spent on earth being distracted by people or pleasures or possessions or power.Writing is a hobby. It allows me to research and self educate, and it also permits me to refine my perspectives of concepts existential and theological.
