The Peace Maker

Michele Chynoweth

The "Peace Maker" is the contemporary retelling of the story of David and Abigail in the Bible's First Book of Samuel. The characters come to life in the setting of a current US Presidential election---Leif Mitchell is selected from his humble life as a horse rancher and country rock singer to become Governor of Kentucky and then run as the Republican candidate against powerful and narcissistic US Democratic Senator Darren Richards of New York, a behind-the-scenes abusive alcoholic. A powerful Darren will stop at nothing to bring Leif down, causing Leif to reconsider his high road approach to politics. When the campaigns get ugly and dangerous, First Lady hopeful Chessa Richards is faced with a tough decision. Should she try to preserve peace at all costs, protecting many who might become collateral damage as a result of the ensuing battle, and in turn possibly sacrifice her future and risk her own life? Should she try to stop Leif from stooping to her husband's level, which may ruin his candidacy but save his soul?

This gripping novel full of suspense and romance will encourage you in times of decision and doubt to rely on God's guidance and to have courage to do the right thing no matter what the cost.

Michele Chynoweth's novels bring stories in the Bible to life for today's readers with contemporary characters and plots so they can better understand and relate to God's messages of faith and hope. Michele's universally appealing inspirational novels are filled with suspense, drama, and romance, including The Faithful One based on the Book of Job, The Peace Maker based on the story of David and Abigail in the first Book of Samuel, The Runaway Prophet based on the Book of Jonah, and The Jealous Son based on the story of Cain and Abel.Michele believes while the Old Testament stories in the Bible are compelling, they are often difficult to read and comprehend, so she hopes reimagining them in contemporary times with fiction that's fast paced and entertaining will help readers appreciate God's messages and hopefully bring people back to the Bible itself. Her stories will not only grip you, taking you for a wild ride and leaving you hanging on until the end, they will also inspire you to search your own heart for God's will in your life and to find a deeper faith in God's plan.In addition to being an author, Michele is an inspirational speaker, book coach, editor, and college instructor of writing, publishing, and marketing fiction.
