The Fugitives of Gethsemane explores the paradox that wanting believers must overcome while struggling to understand the essence of the Christian faith. It is a creed that cannot be learned--it must be experienced by those pondering the complexity of its teachings. This book does not attempt to explain the unexplainable. But it does dramatize the efforts of four disciples hoping to find trust and belief in the lord, Jesus. So throw away your ordinary reason. This is the ancient mystery of belief, as it is . . .

Say it."Joe crossed the room and closed the office door."It starts with your suicide." ****************** False, then lost identity. Betrayal and infidelity. Theft and corruption. Deceit and murder. These are the dark circumstances operating against struggling author Larry Meachum. His only defense is a desperate determination to survive in a world burdened by mystery, suspense, and crime--a world where Death Takes a Byline.
