“This story requires attentiveness, self-examination, and soul-searching. I found myself undone on many occasions, seeing myself on far too many pages. I’ve been admonished to live in the fear of God rather than the fear of man. So, my friends, if you are interested in a story that will challenge your manner of life and cause you to fall on your knees and beg God to change you, here it is.” — Mark Hamby

Written from the striking viewpoint of the Bible personified, The Duel reveals spiritual tensions that occur in friendships, business interactions, and family relationships. Themes of honesty, forgiveness, vengeance, greed, lust, and salvation are developed.  In the end wisdom triumphs!  The author unearths our secret struggles and hidden sins, powerfully weaving Scripture throughout to reveal how to avoid falling into despair, regret, and shame.
