He repeated those four simple words countless times to his wife Beth, confident that he was right. He was wrong. Dead wrong. In the year 2002, the United States government officially seizes control of every local church. Only sermons approved by the newly-formed Bureau of Religious Affairs can be preached. Pastors must place themselves under the bureau's authority. Owning a Bible is forbidden. Now Scott is on the run, wanted for treason. His crime: attending an illegal gathering of believers--an underground church. Pursued by the bureau's agents, Scott sets out on a cross-country journey, desperately seeking a safe haven. Everything he believes in will be put to the test. Thus you enter the world of 'The Shepherd's Path'. It is a world writhing in evil corruption, where meeting together to worship the Saviour is considered an act of treason. It is a world where Scott Sampson will be tested. Can he find true victory in the midst of the darkest days of his life? Spiritual forces clash in 'The Shepherd's Path', the first book in the Shepherd's series. This riveting novel warns us to be ready...it can happen here.
