Amara's Prayer — Steven E. Wedel

Is your faith real if it's never tested? When Rev. Milton Agnew learns that his church's Brazilian mission has been mysteriously destroyed, he rushes to the rainforest to see for himself. His friends and the natives they went to convert are all dead or gone. But the village isn't empty. What he finds is a strange woman who says her name is Amara. Milton determines he will continue his mission work with this single unsaved soul, no matter how many laws of man he has to break in the process. Do you forgive me? Back home in Oklahoma City, Amara causes Milton to lose everything he thought he believed in. Everything but her. Until she goes too far. “Wedel's Amara's Prayer is a rare treat: a story of personal horror and personal hope that leads you through the rise and fall of one man and one family touched by supernatural temptation. More than that, however, it is a story of redemption. A powerful, glorious tale that is highly recommended.” -- James A. Moore, author of Blood Red and Serenity Falls
