The Runaway Prophet

From the author of the best-selling novels The Faithful One and The Peace Maker comes another captivating modern-day Bible story that will grip you and not let go.

Rory Justice leads a relatively normal life as a conservative, divorced, middle-aged ad agency account executive. He doesn't like to rock the boat, but that's just what happens when his retired FBI agent father, on his deathbed, asks Rory to hand-deliver a sealed letter to the Las Vegas sheriff's department. The letter details plans by a new Islamic State mafia running the casinos to destroy the city with an underground nuclear bomb.

Instead of delivering the letter warning Vegas of its impending doom, Rory tries to run. He mails the letter and jumps onto a cruise ship, only to find himself entangled in a series of horrific misfortunes. Rory is eventually brought back to Vegas, where he ends up helping FBI and police investigators who have forty days to uproot the mafia and the bomb they've planted before it destroys Sin City. In the process, he finds himself confronting the very low-lifes he abhors--prostitutes, gamblers, drug addicts and thugs--and falls in love with police lieutenant Susan McAfree, a tough yet vulnerable officer on his team. But can this new-found love outweigh the hate he feels for the sinners she lives among and works to save?

Full of intrigue, suspense, and a little romance, The Runaway Prophet delivers the message that you can try to run from God's call, but you can't hide and that sometimes, by rescuing other people, God rescues you in the process.

"Those who cling to worthless idols forfeit the grace that could be theirs...Salvation comes from the Lord."

- Jonah 2:8-9 (NIV)
