The Peace Maker

The Peace Maker is the contemporary retelling of the story of David and Abigail in the Bible’s First Book of Samuel. The characters come to life in the setting of a current US Presidential election—Leif Mitchell is selected from his humble life as a stable hand and country rock singer to become Governor of Kentucky and then run as the Republican candidate against powerful and narcissistic US Democratic Senator Darren Richards. When the campaigns get ugly and dangerous, First Lady hopeful Chessa Richards is forced with a tough decision that may cause her to risk her own life and leave the lives of many hanging in the balance in order to preserve peace. This gripping novel full of suspense and romance will encourage you in times of decisions and doubt to rely on God to guide you to do the right thing no matter what the cost.
