Last Chance

Suppose you made a visit to the Holy Land, and discovered that you had the power toheal the sick and raise the dead. That's what happens to thirty-three-year-old Jacob, in my24,000-word novella Last Chance, a spiritual-thriller set amongst the most holy sites ofChristendom. Jacob has always been different; able to see into people's innermost souls, even as ayoung child. But when he and his close friend, Pastor Michael Abrams, make apilgrimage to Israel, Jacob discovers, to his amazement, that his visit has been foretold. Miriam, a mysterious young woman, has been waiting for him, convinced that he is theChosen Messenger; divinely selected to prove once and for all that Jesus is the Son ofGod. As Jacob, Michael, and Miriam track the footsteps of Christ, Jacob begins to havestunning visions of Jesus' final days and to demonstrate many of his miraculous abilities. The quest ultimately leads the three friends to Turin, Italy, where Jacob is inexorablydrawn to uncover the secrets of the fabled Shroud of Turin. But as a dark and lethalconspiracy begins to simmer around him, time may be running out for Jacob to fulfill hispurpose. If he fails, is this the 'Last Chance' for mankind?My inspiration in writing Last Chance was my strong faith and love for Jesus as mysavior. When I began writing the book, it was simply to express my own feelings but asthe story began to take on the twists and turns of a thriller, I realized that it could becomean inspiration to others as well; both believers and non-believers. I hope that I may sendyou the manuscript.
