The Rebecca Series

Fresh from military service, Matt Clark learns of the mysterious disappearance of his beloved parents. Matt quickly embarks on a transatlantic journey to unravel the tapestry of clues that might lead to their captors, and from there the mystery grows. What to make of the cryptic diary entry by his quiet but fearless mother? And why is he being followed as he navigates the busy streets of London? Soon Matt finds himself swept into a diabolical conspiracy to annihilate the core tenets of the Christian faith. But Matt is not alone on his mission: he encounters the beautiful Rebecca Manguson and her twin brother, Luke, gifted siblings who will help lead him to the source of the evil plot. Drawn into a world of spiritual power he has never before experienced, Matt comes face to face with an unseen reality that changes every assumption he's made about life. “The day that changes our lives forever does not introduce itself by that name. It just comes. We awake. We arise. We move about. We may pray. If we do, we may ask God for His protection. From what, we do not yet know.” With these words, the Rebecca Series — a Christian action and mystery trilogy — launches itself at the reader. “I have just put down The Face of the Enemy, having read it slowly (not my usual tear-through) and thoroughly enjoyed the plot, the characters, the locations and, most importantly, the message. What courage! What faith! I especially like the life lessons, particularly for young people... [and even] for clergy...” Nancy Armstrong, Atlanta (GA), Church Youth Education Director "How long has it been since I've been yanked through to the end of a book by such a relentless force?" Ellen Welsh, St. Petersburg, Florida "It was wonderful ... fabulous ... I looked forward every night to picking it up again It is more than interesting that this novel characterizes ‘the most effective Lie' as that which 'is very nearly True,' and 'the most effective Evil' as that which is 'very nearly' Good.'" Kay Betts, Atlanta, Georgia "My faith was simply lifted to another level by reading and contemplating The Face of the Enemy." Connie Wootton, Amarillo, Texas

Compelling, well-written, and action-packed, By Many or By Few, the second entry in an outstanding series, stands out among recent spiritual thrillers in presenting an entertaining mystery while adhering to Christian truth. Rebecca Manguson travels to New York for a tender reunion with Matt Clark, the dashing former U.S. Navy officer with whom she survived a life-and-death battle in the timeless war of good versus evil. Within hours of arriving, however, she finds herself escaping from a kidnapping attempt and on the run, hiding from the man she should have been able to trust, heart, spirit, and soul. Something ancient is at work, something that seeks to use American society to plant insidious seeds of evil in the minds and morals of its most vulnerable and hopeful citizens – children. Uncovering and preventing this conspiracy takes Rebecca, her twin brother, Luke, detective Sid Belton, Bible scholar Dr. Eleanor Chapel, and a tested-but-renewed Matt from the gritty streets of Manhattan to the scenic shores of Chesapeake Bay, where Rebecca finds herself caught in a desperate showdown to prevent the death of a world leader and the domino effect that would allow corruption and destruction. "... never debases the supernatural as mere fantasy ... Biblical Christians (now have) an important antidote to the cartoonish popularity of The Da Vinci Code." - Dr. D. Bruce Lockerbie, Chairman, PAIDEIA, Inc. and author of "Dismissiong God: Modern Writers' Struggle Against Religion"

Newly married, Rebecca and Matt Clark are settled into a quiet life in London. Almost a year has passed since they risked their lives to prevent a powerful evil from falsely indoctrinating the minds of American children. When Rebecca receives a prophetic vision, the young woman, her husband, and her twin brother, Luke, are once again called upon to protect the innocent and thwart the plans of the Enemy. A continent away, Bible scholar Dr. Eleanor Chapel faces her own battle. Invited to co-chair Congressus Evangelicus III, and international conference that shapes the role of the worldwide Church, Dr. Chapel learns that someone or something doesn’t want her there. The kidnapping of the scholar’s family in Rome sparks a series of events that sends Rebecca, Matt, and Luke across the continent of Europe to find them, while Dr. Chapel and her husband, detective Sid Belton, stay behind to prevent Congressus from making a decision that will forever diminish the effectiveness of the Church. Somehow Rebecca’s visions, the kidnapping, the suspicious Italian nationals lurking around, and the people who want to get rid of Dr. Chapel are connected. In an ultimate showdown, Rebecca finds herself face-to-face with an old enemy and in the grips of an even more powerful and vicious supernatural evil.

Weaving historic themes of faith, courage and supernatural forces, Walker Buckalew’s fourth novel spins a tale of action and intrigue that follows Luke, Kory and their comrades on a lightning-quick race to stop their new enemy’s evil scheme. In Choose You This Day, Buckalew has penned another timeless story in his signature style: expertly rendered plot, breathtakingly detailed narrative and a beloved cast of endearingly human heroes. Readers will be inspired by the power of simple faith and earnest prayer to defeat the forces of evil on a global scale, as Luke and his allies prove once again what a small band of believers can achieve. Luke Manguson isn’t your typical 29-year-old. With fresh scars on his left cheek, biceps bursting from his sleeves and a handsome angular jaw, Luke’s tough exterior conceals a pure heart that is deeply committed to his Christian faith. Fans of The Rebecca Series know him as the indispensable twin brother of Walker Buckalew’s storied heroine, and in Choose You This Day, the fourth novel in the series, readers get to know Luke even better. As the school year winds down and Luke prepares for a special date with his new sweetheart, fellow teacher Kory van Dijk, the supernatural visions that have sparked Luke’s summertime adventures for the past three years flare up once again. With his sister, Rebecca, caring for her newborn twins, Luke is called to action as Rebecca’s visions reveal a sinister plot to murder hundreds of Christian heroes across the globe.
