“Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labour. For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow: but woe to him that is alone when he falleth; for he hath not another to help him up. Again, if two lie together, then they have heat: but how can one be warm alone? And if one prevail against him, two shall withstand him; and a threefold cord is not quickly broken.”
A
lesson which Marc Royce and Kitra Korban must re-learn if they are to survive.
In
this installment of the Marc Royce adventure series, the story which began with
Lion of Babylon and continued in Rare Earth finds an emotional and spiritual
conclusion.
Marc,
Kitra and a multinational, ethnically diverse cadre of supporters strive to
match wits with a determined enemy adept at saboutage, subterfuge, and
misdirecion. Racing against time,
struggling to overcome insurmountable odds, and battling the enemies both
external and internal, the team draws courage and confidence from the most
powerful force the world will ever experience:
intercessory prayer.
While
written as suspense fiction, author Davis Bunn shines the light of faith on the
meta-narrative; the story which lies beneath the story. Timeless truths are skillfully woven
throughout, reminding the reader of two spiritual principles that should be
rehearsed before getting out of bed in the morning, or retiring to bed at the
end of the day:
1.
There is an all-knowing, all-seeing, all-powerful God who is still
ruling the universe.
2.
You are not He.
