When a war-scarred journalist returns to a small hometown church
on the brink of foreclosure, he finds more than vandalized doors
and mounting debt-he finds a people who refuse to give up on
grace. Twelve Gates of Grace follows Ethan Rivers, a former correspondent
who lost his faith overseas, as Beth-El Ministries battles a ruthless developer,
a devastating act of sabotage, and the slow heartbreak of illness. Each of
the church's twelve carved doors bears a biblical emblem, reminding the
congregation-and Ethan-that God writes redemption through flawed tribes
and fearful disciples. As the community rallies to restore the sanctuary, Ethan
must confront his anger at God, reconcile with an estranged father, and decide
whether love and forgiveness can still change a life. Inspired by Revelation 21's
"twelve gates," this uplifting, emotionally rich novel invites readers to believe
that no betrayal is beyond mercy and no ruin is beyond repair.
