Cloven Tongues of Fire - A Novella

by Christopher Cook

Overview

A spiritual story, a religious story, a love story. This novella is all three in one. It’s the story of a man, Nathan Tillery, who sets out to seek salvation… and runs into a wall. It’s the story of his loving wife, Emma Jean, who keeps faith with both to her husband and her beliefs… yet even she begins to have doubts. Must embracing Jesus and receiving the Holy Ghost become such an ordeal? And if it does, what does that mean? Building on themes similar to those explored in the author’s earlier award-winning book “Screen Door Jesus & Other Stories”, this beautifully crafted novella will make you smile, and laugh, and finally cry.
