David Andrew Smith
A Christian thriller

Jacket Blurb:
Raheem Slaze has lost the cornerstone of his business. His prize employee, Olivia Darcy, is
America's most profitable adult escort. But after receiving a simple gift from The Armory, a frail downtown ministry in Cleveland, Ohio, Olivia is inspired to join them, forfeiting her third abortion and leaving her harlotry job behind.
The rebellious son: Barak Slaze despises prostitutes, Christians, and his father. So as Raheem makes a deal with his son to bring back Olivia, the 18-year-old has to make the hardest decision of his life. He can salvage all the progress Olivia has made with her escape or cash in on his
father's reward, finally allowing him and his mother to live without Raheem's support.
The outcast: Damon Carawell is a troubled 35-year-old pastor. Two years after the tragic mistake of killing a man on the brink of salvation, he continues to hide within The Armory. But even with past guilt,
it's the present that consumes him. He's been separated from his wife for two years, his brother is threatening to leave The Armory, and now, Olivia has entered the picture, chased by Barak. Though her arrival is initially seen as a blessing, Damon quickly watches his worst nightmare unfold. His decision to take in Olivia and Barak places everyone at The Armor in danger. Raheem is obsessed with retaining his employee and will do anything to get her
back, forcing Damon to decide just how far he'll go to love the unloved.
The mystery: Yet, what aids Raheem against Damon and The Armory
isn't anything the father can immediately recognize. Barak has seemingly turned against his father, quickly drawn to
Damon's unique leadership and Oilvia's enchanting charm. Raheem's mysterious ally hides patiently within the shadows of both sides. It continually bares their vulnerability, challenging
Damon's suspicion and testing Raheem's trust.
After a chance meeting, a prostitute's and a pastor's differences become more than
morals, revealing that only through their dissimilarities will they escape their separate inconsolable pasts.
What if there was a church that risked everything
to love a pregnant prostitute...a prostitute
known throughout the world?
What if that single act of love ruined the most
corrupt of businesses...a business that prospered
only within this prostitute's production?
And what if that business now
realized that this church was
its biggest threat?
Would there not be war?
Would the church not
defend itself and fight back?
Curious? Good.
Damon Carawell would
love to answer your questions.
