The Offering of Cypress Hill

The Truth is Always Buried

The Truth is Always Buried.
When John Vance, the powerful founder of Mount Zion Church, unexpectedly passes away, his
estranged son, Eli, returns to Cypress Hill only to find his family's legacy is built on a dangerous
secret.
The church's most prized asset—a stunning, valuable lakefront property—is suddenly targeted
by Marcus Thorne, a ruthless local developer who claims the church's title to the land is invalid.
Eli teams up with his brothers, Joshua and Daniel, and quickly discovers that his father’s last will
holds the key to the land’s defense: a mysterious, decades-old covenant tied to a forgotten
corner of the church known only as the Chapel Annex. They also find a hidden cash box and a
lie that has poisoned the family and the church for twenty years.
As Thorne’s deadline approaches, the Vance brothers must race to understand the twisted
history of the covenant, uncover the truth about John Vance’s stolen money, and make a
difficult choice: save the family name by protecting the lie, or sacrifice everything they own to
save the church land and expose the full truth. The offering they must make is far more costly
than gold.
