About the book...
John Cross is a small-town pastor, bent on leading his flock to follow God's calling. He's not the sort of man you'd expect to have a checkered past.
But the truth is, this shepherd was once a wolf--an assassin for the CIA. When John decided to follow Christ, he put that work behind him, determined to do penance for all the lives he took, pledging never to kill again.
Now his deadly past has caught up to him as a vengeful terrorist swears to take him out for good. All John's secrets are laid bare, and he must face his demons and discover whether a man can truly change. Can he keep his vow--even when his congregation and the brave woman he's learning to care for are caught in the cross fire?
In the end, John's life may be the only sacrifice he has left to offer...
