Hand of the Morningstar

In the battle between good and evil, it's hard to tell who's on which side.

With the world watching, the opposing forces of super-powered beings clash in battles that reveal whether those who serve the elusive Morningstar, said to be a wise and powerful heavenly creature, fight for the cause of good and evil.

'Zondervan hasn't skimped on the details in producing these two books [Morningstar: Advent; Morningstar: Resurrection]...these two volumes honestly did captivate me.'

With a missionary and his daughter caring for him, Michael Tempe begins to regain his strength. Will they discover who he really is?
