In the quiet town of Walnut
Grove, something evil lurks within the occupants' minds.
Only those dwelling twenty feet below Hattie's Bar and
Grill are safe from the malevolent "holy water"
handed out during Sunday church service. On the outside,
the townsfolk are clean and friendly, but beneath the
surface evil creeps toward an explosive and destructive
end.
Ex-preacher Kirk David has come back
to face his past and put to rest any lingering hope his
sister might still be found after disappearing ten years
ago. Once he arrives, he realizes God has sent him back
for a more pressing reason. He must help a Cherokee
Indian, Tom, find a stream blessed by an unknown prophet
before a false preacher destroys the town.
Lenora Elayne dreams of a savior who
comes on wings and thunder to help her save Walnut Grove
from an evil man bent on destroying her precious town.
God has given her charge over a pregnant teenager whose
child will do great things in His name. All Lenora really
wants to do is convince people that God loves them no
matter what their sin, but her faith is shaky, and she
fears she'll fail with the heavy burden placed upon her
shoulders.
Together Kirk and Lenora find love
and a renewed faith in God while trying to unravel
seemingly unrelated events rushing toward a battle
between darkness and light.
Praise and Reviews:
Former preacher Kirk David rides back into his hometown of Walnut Grove
after a protracted absence. When he enters the church in which he grew
up, he is immediately confronted with the face of evil incarnate
sitting beside the pulpit. Unprepared to face the devil in such an
unexpected place, he exits, heading to a local bar where he finds less
room for evil to flourish than in the church. He also finds a young
woman working there, Lenora, who helps him learn the truth about Walnut
Grove. Since the advent of the new preacher, evil has pervaded the
hamlet, and it's up to Kirk and Lenora to stop it. Somehow, they must
break the mind and spiritual control the Devil has on almost everyone
who lives there. Kirk thought his calling had ended, but now he will
need all the gifts God has given him more than ever.
*** Though knowing a bit more of the backstory would have been
interesting, nonetheless, this simple, yet profound story has a very
true message. Christians who enjoyed the X - Files will surely enjoy
this, for there are some similiar points of comparison. ***
What
I wouldn't do to return to childhood one more
time and experience fishing from the bank as a
little girl, especially in the dark. I'm country
to the core. I fish, camp, More...
