A new edition of the moving drama of life in a rough 1880s mining town, which launched the writing career of early 20th century best-selling author Ralph Connor’s classic Black Rock edited by Michael Phillips.
Jim Craig is a frontier minister to the mining and lumber community of Black Rock—a man with a vision for seeing the Gospel change lives. But the men in town who make their living from whiskey are determined to fight Craig’s attempt at reform.
Meet Leslie Graham, Slavin, Idaho Jack, Sandy, Baptiste, and especially Mrs. Mavor, whose quiet loving influence had a greater impact on the community than many realized.
Jackson Maxwell, Christian magazine reporter, begins routine research into the expanding global ministry of renowned evangelist Jacob Michaels. But when his questions about the Evangelize the World (ETW) organization focus on sensitive issues—the use of donations, an enormous development project, and certain skeletons in the closet—he is led into a maze of deception and scandal.
Hamilton Jaeger, Jacob Michaels’ assistant, manipulates people, money, and information for his own ambitious ends. He will not sit idle while an inquisitive reporter threatens his vision of a media empire dedicated to evangelism and the unity of the Christian Body—all under his direction.
Jackson’s professional obligation to truth, his loyalty to victimized friends, and his conviction that God’s representatives are accountable call for decisive action: Jaeger’s scheme must be exposed. Jackson Maxwell pursues the truth… and the secrets he uncovers will change lives forever.
