The Deliverer is about love, materialism, and challenges faced by unbelievers, rich and famous. It exposed a love triangle between Dun Rosenberg, a prominent Jew turned atheist, and his son, Alex. Both fell in love with Phyllis, who was engaged to be married to Brad Dennison, a church minister. Tragedy came, but once we allow deliverance to begin, we never know where it will end. For the will of God of Israel is good, pleasing, and perfect. Dun woke up from a coma to fulfill his purpose. ""The Deliverer evokes a fresh awareness to the ease by which the human spirit can fi nd itself sucked in a whirlpool of contradictions. Th e author builds an invisible, three-way tension between the two major characters and shifting situations that is masterfully strummed like guitar strings. The reader will sense the unavoidable hand of God that ultimately turns near chaos to liberating deliverance." -Pastor Rudy Tan, Senior Pastor, FCF Life Center, the Church on the Highway, Sydney "The Deliverer is about temptation, worldly pleasures, privileges and Christian values. Grace A. Jota's book inspires you to seek godly wisdom in everything you do in life." -Ian Domecillo, Accountant, Australian Securities and Investments Commission "As I read through Grace's manuscript, I was captured by the well-developed characters. I have ministered with my husband for over thirty years, I have heard the life stories of many families. I know how complex lives can be that are lost in the depths of sin and separation from God. Grace Jota really nailed these characters. Their life story draws you in and just like our God, The Deliverer comes" -Kathy Ann DeJoy, Vice President, Miracle Ministries, Inc., Philadelphia "Grace A. Jota tells a riveting story about a love triangle that leads to God's mercy and deliverance. Grace explains how wealth and fame can come crashing down in her new book. This is a must-read for anyone who values love, family and things that matter most in life." -Debbie Cohen, Freelance Reporter, New York

God. Hero. Idol. Monster. Murderer. The story of Hercules is one of the most famous ever told. But what if it's wrong? Locus and Nebula Award-winning author John Wiswell brings his gentle, human storytelling to the most infamous of stories and discovers the heart inside us all. Furious with Zeus for once again siring a child with a mortal woman, Hera finds herself redirecting all her fury at the baby himself, Heracles, an innocent named in her honour. As Heracles grows into a man - an unfathomably strong, loving man - he thanks Hera for all the blessings he feels she's seen fit to bestow upon him. In a moment of misdirected rage, however, Hera sends a fury to kill Heracles' family. Heracles sets out on an epic quest to discover the name of the god who set their murders in motion. Desperate to keep him busy until she can come up with a solution, Hera sets Heracles a series of tests, as impossible as they are deadly: the Nemean lion, the hydra, the Stymphalian birds, the Aegean stables . . . But Heracles' innate kindness, along with his determination to discover the identity of the god who cost him everything he loves, carries him through each task. As his legend grows, so does Hera's desperation. A novel of friendship, of found family, of kindness and of legend, this is the story of Hercules as it has never been told before. |
