As a happily married husband and proud father of a nine-year-old son, the last thing attorney Will Chambers wants on his hands is a religious apocalypse. Will defends a Christian convert from Islam against charges of causing a religious riot. When the attorney next hears from his client, Gilead Amahn, the self-styled prophet is under arrest. The top of Jerusalem’s Temple Mount has been bombed into rubble, and Amahn is accused of having incitedby his fiery street preachinga terrorist cult to do it. Now the lawyer must uncover both the evidence and the key truth about his client’s "mission." And further, Will must also make a final judgment about his role as a husband, a father…and a man.
