Miraculously awakening from a twelve-year coma, television evangelist Thomas Jeremiah Luther eagerly resumes his world-wide ministry while secretly plotting to seize control of conservative Christian political power in America. When a teenage member of Luther's congregation almost dies from an abortion, he convinces her family to file a multi-million dollar medical malpractice case against the physician and abortion clinic. The right verdict will shut down abortion clinics all over the country and send the religious right and power brokers of all stripes flocking to his door. With two powerful and charismatic lawyers arguing the case, the nation is riveted to this landmark courtroom battle where the one of the most heated points in the national debate will be decided: When exactly does life begin?
Great book! Quite thought provoking. Character development was excellent. The kind of book I hardly ever read, but thoroughly enjoyed.
An exciting and entertaining book

I found this book to be an exciting read. His development of each of his characters was masterful and thoughtful. It is obvious that much research was performed in touching on the very controversial subject of abortion. His experience as a practicing attorney was evident as he presented both sides of this issue as well as the comradeship of attornies as they do battle in the courtroom representing their clients to the best of their abilities. A must read.

This book is incredibly well written. I did not want to put it down. The characters are so well defined that I felt I knew them. This writer really did his homework and it really paid off. Never once did the book lose my interest and just when I thought I knew what was coming next.... there was always a surprise. And the ending is one of the best I have ever read. Buy this book! You will NOT regret it!
