Protecting a hothead troublemaker who challenges traditional Jewish authority and Mosaic law everywhere he travels should have been enough. But when his best friend—Ruger—is captured by Hell’s Forces and tortured to the brink of extinction, Guardian Angel Beniel becomes a boiling caldron of conflicting priorities and emotions. Protecting the Apostle Paul as he traverses the Mediterranean region dodging the clutches of Jewish radicals who seek his death, and, at the same time, chasing from one Lucifer stronghold to another attempting to rescue his colleague too often results in failure and defeat. Disciplined, recalled, and chastised by Yahweh Himself, Beniel struggles for clarity but always seems to fall short.

In wars between the demons and angels of the otherworld, fierce fighting wreaks collateral damage on earthlings who inhabit earth as well as on the quarreling supernatural beings. Strange things happen continually. As Paul places complete confidence in Yahweh and moves toward the fulfillment of his purpose on earth, so Beniel learns to trust the Creator’s timing and an understanding of His purpose. A last stand duel between the giants of heaven and hell grants him victory and peace.
