From Addiction to Freedom, One Man Takes a Leap of Faith
Longwood, FL (PRWEB) April 26, 2007 -- Seeking freedom, love and easy money, Abel Adams discovers a dark world of drugs and self-destruction. His mysterious journey leads him through a labyrinth of crime, cults and incarceration, but will he find deliverance before time runs out? Grace Period: The Awakening of Abel Adams (paperback, 978-1-60266-353-4), by Robert Hammond, traces a prodigal son's allegorical passage from addiction to freedom. The book offers hope and healing to the millions of lost souls caught up in drug addiction, new age religions and the occult, pointing the way home through God's grace.
Says Hammond, "Grace Period is an unforgettable tale of redemption, along the lines of The Cross and the Switchblade. Unlike James Frey's bestselling A Million Little Pieces, which was a memoir based on fictional events, Grace Period is a fictional narrative inspired by true events."
Hammond has faced down rumors that the book's protagonist, Abel Adams, is a thinly veiled alter ego of himself. "Abel Adams is essentially an allegorical composite of all of us who have gone astray at some point in our lives," says the author. "I know that most people will discover they really identify with Abel's desperate struggle to overcome the allure of temptation."
Robert Hammond is a screenwriter and the bestselling author of several books, including Identity Theft: How to Protect Your Most Valuable Asset, Life After Debt: Free Yourself from the Burden of Money Worries Once and for All, and Credit Secrets: How to Erase Bad Credit. He lives in Southern California.
Xulon Press, a part of Salem Communications Corporation, is the world's largest Christian publisher, with more than 3,200 titles published to date. Retailers may order Grace Period through Ingram Book Company and/or Spring Arbor Book Distributors.
