Farmer, his pregnant wife, Emile, and their two young sons travel by chuck wagon from their rural Texas farm to their new land in Oregon. The age of the automobile is emerging and, as the last of the wagon pioneers, the Trevor Family relies on their faith in God, love for each other and a horsedrawn wagon to make a journey beyond their wildest imaginations. The Trevors' action-packed adventure runs the gamut from near-death experiences to moments both tender and humorous. Will the regrets Farmer feels about putting his family in harm's way override his dream of a new life?
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
