In His Hands

The rules are simple: Never speak to outsiders. Never yearn for something more. And never, ever seek the pleasure of a stolen kiss...or a whispered promise that with him, she can finally be free. Abby Merkley has been a member of the Church of the Apocalyptic Faith since she was a child, and there's no way out...until her darkly handsome, brooding neighbor defies the rules and takes her into the safety of his arms. He should frighten her, but everything inside Abby thrills at Luc Stanek's rough manners and shockingly gentle touch. He excites her, ignites her, leaves her shaken and wanting more. But evil men follow in her footsteps, and it may take more than one fierce beauty to defend her loving beast.

In His Hands draws from the wellspring of the Bibles rich traditions and brings to life, in a collection of short stories, key figures whose lives God touched with His grace. The stories begin with Adam, the father of all people, and end with Mary, the mother of the Lord of all people. In between, stories reveal the depths of the hearts of the Old Testaments patriarchs and matriarchs and the New Testaments disciples of Jesus and participants in His Passion. In these short stories, A.J. Cork finds in biblical characters, who may seem unapproachable or almost immovably iconic, like figures carved in a great frieze, the little touches of the ordinary that help readers to see in them the common humanity shared across the millennia. Some of the stories begin with brief introductory passages that set the scenes. Others leap right into the lives of the characters, animating their stories with vivid descriptions, revealing dialogue, and finely sketched details of locales and events. Whether you are familiar with the Bibles characters from reading the Scriptures or you have always wondered about Noah and Abraham, Moses and Rahab, Mary and Peter, and Nicodemus and Barabbas, In His Hands will offer you entertainment and education. This collection will help you to encounter the figures whose lives grace the pages of the Bible and whose memories touch the hearts of everyone who hears how God has worked in and through them to show His glory.

“A fantastical, thought-provoking page turner” (Robert Foster, bestselling author of The Lunar Code). In 1928, when Demetri Davos discovers a mysterious crystal ball that can grant him anything he asks, he soon learns that power always comes with a price. After two selfish requests result in the death of innocent people, he resolves never to use the orb again.

Years later in Chicago, he is rich and happily married—but a vengeful nemesis, who knows of the ball’s power, now wants what he’s owed—and will stop at nothing to get it. With his family in peril, Demetri is forced to pay for his past, and for wishes granted, time after time . . . after time . . . Spanning from Europe to America and across decades, In His Hands traces one good man’s struggle to combat his own inadequacies and resist overwhelming temptation in a deadly moral tug-of-war.
