The Minister's Battle

By Matthew Newson

Joe Barnes was a minister who moved in signs, wonders, and miracles until the day his wife died of cancer. He's spent the last two years feeling betrayed by God, hiding in his home, and editing books for various preachers to keep himself sealed away from the outside world.

Joe is drowning in his misery until his old friend Richard shows up on his doorstep and invites him to a class. Richard's class has capitalized on the topic of grief, and it meets at a church which is the opposite of Joe's current comfort level.

Reluctantly, he builds himself up to finally visit the class where he quickly makes friends but is also immediately drawn to a woman named Olivia. While Joe struggles with his undying love for his wife, and his new feelings developing towards Olivia, an old enemy has reentered his life.

Unknown to Joe, Hell assigned The Shadow Man to kill him when he was a minister, but Joe's faith kept him out of The Shadow Man's reach. However, Joe's present faltering reliance on God has created the opportunity for the demon's attack.

Now, Joe and his new friends find themselves in the crosshairs of The Shadow Man. Can Joe find the faith he once possessed? Can he and his friends uncover the secret to defeat the enemy who just might be hiding within their ranks?
