No more time-outs

By Thomas Slater

Book Description

When desperation drives a man to make an impossible bargain, the true test of faith begins. Wisdom Jones finds himself caught between love and loyalty, striking a dangerous deal with Detroit's most ruthless drug lord to secure a life-saving kidney for his dying mother. The price of this transaction extends far beyond money, demanding his unwavering allegiance to a criminal empire that trades in human organs.

As his mother's condition deteriorates, her final request weighs heavily on Wisdom's conscience. She yearns to witness her fractured family reunited in faith before her time runs out, and she extracts a promise from her son to make this restoration possible. Yet Wisdom faces an agonizing paradox: the very actions he takes to preserve his mother's life may ultimately destroy everything she holds sacred.

With only seven days to fulfill his mother's dying wish, Wisdom must navigate the treacherous waters between salvation and damnation. This gripping tale explores the complex dynamics of family loyalty, spiritual redemption, and the lengths one will go to honor those we love. As Wisdom struggles to reconcile his faith with his choices, readers witness a powerful examination of how love can both inspire and corrupt, and whether true redemption remains possible when we've already made a pact with darkness.

A story that challenges our understanding of sacrifice, forgiveness, and the enduring power of family bonds.
