And If I Fall

Jude Connors rural Idaho hometown is a place of strong values and high expectations. For those who fit into the local churchs narrow confines theres support and fellowship. For those who dont theres ostracism in this life and damnation in the next.Jude wants desperately to be saved--to believe with the fervor of the charismatic Reverend Amos King whose sermons are filled with brimstone and righteousness. But every time Jude thinks hes found the right path theres a fork in the road and Truth seems to be in a different direction.As much as Jude craves the certainty the church offers he finds himself at odds with it. Without intentionally rebelling he befriends Pearl Thornton considered an unrepentant heathen; he craves the support of Gregory Hart whose church standing is questionable; and the feelings he has for his friend Tim Olsen make him fear for his own soul. But then Reverend King offers Jude sanctuary special guidance and a path into the Light.Will Reverend King be able to help Jude preserve his place in heaven? Or will the reverends own demons cause hell to swallow them both? The answer lies in Judes willingness to follow his own path--even if it leads him far from everything hes known.[Previously released as The Revelations of Jude Connor]
