Dangerous Illusions

With the death of its long-time pastor, Sheep Gate Lane Church s membership drops and is fast becoming a relic of the past. Desperate for a resurgence and renewal, the deacons cast a wide net, hoping to reel in a new and invigorating pastor. At the sudden appearance of young, handsome William Chip Davis, church attendance soars and the offering basket is full to overflowing. Loved by everyone, Chip s vibrancy and his unconventional ideas are turning Sheep Gate Lane Church into the county center of a revival movement. But insidious forces are at work behind the veneer of success. Subtly merging traditional Christianity with pseudo-Christian mysticism, Chip slowly reveals the wolf beneath his sheep s apparel. When he is joined at the church podium by a mysterious nun who has evil plans of her own, the entire congregation is caught in the maelstrom of false religion and finds itself in a very real spiritual war. In this sequel to the novel Castles in the Sand, you ll meet again the characters you grew to love weary Jacob Brown and his patient wife Margaret, stalwart Nathan, and a now world-wise Tessa who comes home to find herself the target of an unseen killer s vengeance. Revealing the outward loveliness of spiritual deception, Dangerous Illusions is a taut thriller with an ultimate message of hope and deliverance through Jesus Christ.
