The Sacred Lamp

This novel begins in the early 1990s, taking you through a past journey (The Gift) to the present (The Discovery). The book will inspire and give hope to a world that has become both autonomous in worshiping God and disobedient in obeying His commands. Man has established his own rules by redefining morality to satisfy his lewd and immoral behavior. Although this book is fictitious by definition of its content, it focuses on the real power and sanctifying grace that only the Holy Spirit can give to those who are believers in our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

In Holy Scripture, King James Bible, Act 19, verses 11-12, Apostle Paul writes about preaching in Ephesus and working unusual miracles by his hands. Handkerchiefs and aprons were brought from his body and given to the sick and those possessed with evil spirits. The sick were healed, and the evil spirits came out of those who were possessed. God gave Paul the power to do these miracles through the Holy Spirit. In this novel, the Holy Spirit's healing power manifests itself through the light of a lamp, introduced by a young boy named Messenger Boy.

The first half of the book is entitled The Gift. In these chapters, people in possession of the lamp experience miraculous healings. The cause of these unexplained events is mysterious and unknown. The story begins in Detroit, Michigan, with two of the opening main characters, setting the stage for this mystical journey.

The second half of the book is entitled The Discovery. Several years have passed, and the unveiling power within the lamp reveals itself. As it is set in real-life scenarios, conniving people attempt to alter destiny in their favor for personal gain, which is the case here. But what God has put into place for His glory cannot be hidden, changed, or destroyed. With that said, sit back in your favorite chair, put on your reading glasses, and travel down the pathway leading to The Sacred Lamp.
