The Seventh Thunder

When Gabriel Stone's devout wife dies in an unlikely airline disaster, he pours himself into the writing of a story that has haunted him since his youth-a story his wife had warned him never to finish. Inspired by a life-changing visit to the island of Patmos years earlier, he is fascinated with the visions beheld there by St. John The Divine while in political exile as penance for his devotion to Christ. Those visions included frightening sights delivered by what John described as the "seven thunders," visions he was instructed to withhold from us, to seal up and "write them not" (Revelation 10:4). As Stone becomes entrenched in his writing, the Book of Revelation begins to reveal startling connections to covert operations that are about to tear the world's political landscape to shreds. When the book nears publication, Stone suddenly finds himself the pawn in a war between superpowers and supernatural forces, each with hidden agendas beyond his comprehension and stakes that pivot on his ability to accept the unbelievable and stop the unthinkable. Juxtaposing choices that are at once spiritual and life-dependent, Whisper of the Seventh Thunder stops at nothing short of our very souls hanging in the balance. Winner of the 2010 Next Generation Indie Book Award for best novel in the SUSPENSE/THRILLER category.
