Fiction. Literature. Suspense. HTML:They have the house, the two kids, and the minivan. They have a well-meaning but shallow church. What Sherry doesn't know is that Doug has a shameful struggle with his thought life. When an exotic dancer's life intersects theirs, this suburban couple has to make a hard choice: do they risk their convenience and security for her sake, or do they cross to the other side of the road? The dark forces will not easily give up their most important pawn. But Ronnie must come out of the darkness, for only she can unravel a plot of devastating destruction.
“Who knew Christian fiction could be so exciting—and so relevant to the times? A fascinating tale of people caught up in temptation, spiritual mediocrity, and high-tech terrorism, The Lights of Tenth Street is an edge-of-your-seat spiritual thriller.”
Bill McCartney
Founder and President, Promise Keepers
“The Light Shines in Darkness…”
At either end of Tenth Street in Atlanta, the welcome lights of two separate establishments beckon passersby—the staid and proper Trinity Chapel and The Challenger, a popular gentlemen’s club. Within them dwell conflicting sets of values and people who have radically divergent stories and very different lives—or do they?
******************
Ronnie Hanover leaves an abusive home situation for her dream of going to college in the city. When she takes a lucrative job waitressing at a strip club on Tenth Street, she finds herself trapped in the life of an exotic dancer—and tangled up in an espionage scheme drawn straight from today’s headlines.
At the other end of Tenth Street, Doug and Sherry Turner have the house, the two kids, the minivan, and a respectable church attendance. But Doug also has a serious battle with his thought life that his wife does not begin to comprehend.
When Ronnie’s life intersects theirs, Doug and Sherry must decide if they’re willing to risk their convenience and security to respond to her cry for help. As angelic forces do battle behind the veil, it’s clear that the choice Doug and Sherry make…and how they confront painful issues in their marriage…has the terrifying power to deepen—or illuminate—the spiritual darkness.

I thought the second half of the book was much better than the first half. ( )

Many good men can (and do) go down the dark, inviting path of sexual promiscuity during their marriages. There is an Enemy of our souls that is waiting to put the right circumstances before us to trip us up.

This book gets into the life of a godly man who succombs to temptation. The inner turmoil is wonderfully written by this female author, who honors manhood throughout the book. The love of a good wife isn't always enough, which is apparent throughout the pages.

On the other side of the coin of sexual deviance is the girl. There almost always is one. Rarely do we know the heart of the girl/woman who goes down the path of stripping/porn/prostitution. It's harsh, damaging, and many times, life-ending. In the pages of this book you will get to know the horror that is the sex industry through the eyes and heart of one who has become trapped. ( )

Despite the somewhat controversial content (when I tell people about his book, they stare at me and ask, "You're reading a CHRISTIAN book about WHAAAAAT?!?!), this is by far one of the most meaningful books I have ever read. It hits me where it counts and makes me think, at the same time it challenges me to be and do better than I am. Even though I've read it before, I find myself at the edge of my seat when Doug is about to step onto the boat, only saved at the last moment by Sherry's phone call. Or when Ronnie leans on the Turner's for help. This book is a great example of a message that needs to be delivered. ( )
