Book Description
Derek Jackson's second compelling and faith-filled novel takes readers into the world of a faith healer and the lives of those he touches. They call him Brother Word. He appears at a small South Carolina church's worship service, prays, lays healing hands on the elderly pastor who has suffered a heart attack...then he disappears. But actually, Chance Howard is running-not only from the curious and the skeptics, but also from his own pain. Two years earlier-despite her faith that God would heal her through her husband-Chance's beautiful young wife died from a painful illness. Blaming himself because his gift could not help his wife, Chance is racked with guilt, remorse, and doubt.Now, after the old pastor recovers, Chance breaks his own rule. He stays and lays hands on three others. One of them, a small boy, is the nephew of a newspaper reporter hungry for a career-saving story. Another is a young female minister who bears an uncanny resemblance to Chance's dead wife. Each, for different reasons, decides that they must not only know who Chance really is, but also if his gift is truly from God.
