Out of Darkness, (Paperback)

He is the senior pastor of one of the largest churches in America-celebrated, influential, and trusted by millions. His sermons reach across continents, offering hope, comfort, and conviction to a watching world.
But the man behind the pulpit is unraveling.
David Padgett's carefully crafted life is empty, his faith more performance than truth. When a powerful and wealthy member of his congregation is found brutally murdered, David's world collapses overnight. Accused, disgraced, and stripped of his position, he becomes the prime suspect in a crime that threatens to destroy everything he has built.
With his reputation in ruins and his freedom at risk, David is forced to confront the buried sins and hidden fears he has spent years avoiding. As the investigation tightens and danger closes in, the truth he uncovers may cost him far more than his career-or it may be the only path to redemption.
Out of Darkness is a gripping suspense novel that explores the fragile line between faith and hypocrisy, public devotion and private despair. Fans of Thomas Fincham's relentless tension and Alana Terry's faith-driven mysteries will be drawn into this powerful story of guilt, grace, and the light that can only be found after everything falls apart.
