Summary

"If you've ever wished you could travel back in time to the days of Jesus and ask all of the most difficult questions, this is the novel for you. The Carpenter's Son brings Christ into our modern world and will fill the reader with love, hope and faith in, not just God, but a better world."—#1 New York Times bestselling author​ Richard Paul Evans
Perfect for fans of The Shack and The Case for Christ, this inspirational novel is a reminder that, even in the darkest times, we are never alone.

Award-winning journalist Brooklyn Sterling has built her career exposing frauds, corrupt politicians, and conmen in the pages of the Boston Globe. Hardened by personal tragedy and deeply skeptical of anything resembling faith, she's the last person to believe in miracles. So, when a series of so-called "divine acts" sweep through Boston—including lives inexplicably saved, a blind man suddenly seeing, and a child brought back to life—Brooklyn is determined to uncover the truth and expose the hoax.
But Brooklyn's latest investigation takes an unexpected turn when she encounters a mysterious stranger who seems to appear at every miraculous event. As she digs deeper, the lines between skepticism and belief blur, and her carefully constructed worldview begins to crumble. When tragedy strikes close to home, Brooklyn is offered an opportunity no atheist could ever imagine: spend a day with Jesus Christ himself.
In a journey filled with hard questions and unexpected answers, Brooklyn confronts the pain of her past, the world's deepest struggles, and the mystery of faith. From a family broken by loss to a carpenter's son who sees the heart of everyone he meets, Brooklyn is drawn into a story that will challenge everything she believes.
The Carpenter's Son is a moving and thought-provoking novel that invites readers to walk alongside Jesus, laugh, cry, and see the world through his eyes. With unforgettable characters, profound insights, and a story of redemption and hope, this book will renew your faith in God, humanity, and the power of love.

    There is only one way out of Hell. 
    Daniel Strong is a troubled young man with only one bright spot in his life—his girlfriend, Kristine. He hopes to propose to her on a hike in the mountains, but a mysterious artifact in a dark cavern ruins his plan. Things quickly go downhill—literally—as handling the ‘keystone’ causes Daniel to fall straight into Hell, leaving Kristine behind. 
    A soul-harvesting demon tells him the only way out is through, that he must go to Satan and bargain for his freedom. But the shadow-man responsible for leaving the keystone behind tries to show him there’s another way out. Against his better judgment, Daniel finds himself listening to the demon’s claims that appealing to the Master of the Underworld himself is his only choice. 
    As the unlikely group traverses the many levels of Hell, hurt, anger, and fear hound Daniel, reminding him how hopeless his efforts truly are. All Daniel can do is push forward in hopes of making it back to Kristine. Will Daniel heed Kristine’s words to choose life? Or will he succumb to the lies pulling him down with every step? 
    Infernal Fall is a modern twist on the classic tale: Dante’s Inferno. If you're a fan of Ted Dekker and Frank Peretti, you will love Infernal Fall. Grab your copy today and embark on a harrowing tale of light vs darkness and discover if there truly is only one way out of Hell.

    Blue House: Ten Years on the Way Home tells the struggles, traumas and tragedies of a family in the former USSR during Stalin's reign, pre-WWII. Dispossessed of the happy home and wealth they built through their own sweat and labor, they were forced to withstand horrors and hardships as their daily bread...when there was any bread. Their arms were their pillows; their consciences were their best friends. Silent soul-pain and physical pain did not dim their faith, for their spirits, minds and love endured. "Educate your spirit and mind to be strong. Walk firmly and confidently," states first-time author Veronica Braila. "Believe in better times, no matter what." And Braila's blue house became the haven of hope that held this family's hearts. 
    About the Author: 
    Veronica Braila is an entrepreneur and a devoted mom. She lives just outside of Chicago and is originally from a small country called Pridnestrovia. She enjoys reading and spending time exchanging stories with others about life and faith. Veronica hopes Blue House: Ten Years on the Way Home helps others to believe in love, have faith, and forever be in touch with God throughout the journey called life. "It doesn't matter what is going on now," Veronica says. "Trust the path you're on because it will lead to the right place."
