A New Twist On One of The World s Oldest Stories For years, Bret and Sara Vreeland have encountered various obstacles in their family s finances and health. They always seem one step away from a breakthrough. When an unexpected $7,000,000 lands in their laps, they believe God has answered their prayers--but not all is as it seems. In fact, Satan is conducting an experiment. In the Book of Job, Satan received permission from God to test Job by putting him through various trials. Ultimately, this worked in God s favor. Now Satan seeks God s permission to bless the Vreeland family and to see if their good fortune will cause them to forget God, no longer dependent on His daily presence. One Step Away is a modern tale of believable characters given an unbelievable blessing. Only time will tell if it will draw them one step closer to God? Or one step away?

Natalie Flynn, a minor character in One Step Away, takes the lead role. After a chance encounter at a Nashville book festival, she starts dating a suave, young politician, Reuben Black. Natalie has no idea Reuben is friends with some very dangerous people. These friends deal in information, and knowledge is their form of gold. Recent technological advances have allowed for widespread use of RFID tagging (radio-frequency ID), and Reuben's friends are growing richer by the day. To do so, though, they are endangering the lives of society's mentally and financially destitute. Two Seconds Late is a tale of modern characters faced with ethical and life-altering decisions. Natalie, in some parallels to the biblical story of Esther, has been positioned for "such a time as this," but every second counts, and already she may be too late.

After his sister is killed by an internet predator, an undercover police officer has to wrestle with how justice is to be dispensed.
