Glamorous Powers

A minister endures a crisis of faith—and humanity—in this historical novel about the Church of England from the New York Times–bestselling author. 1940. Jon Darrow is an Anglican priest with psychic gifts and a fulfilling, well-ordered life. Suddenly, he receives a vision calling him to leave his monastery and embark on a journey which will require all his courage and strength—a quest to find a new life. Yet how can he be sure his psychic gifts—those glamorous powers—won't corrupt a new ministry in a world full of temptations and dominated by the Second World War?  Darrow begins to fear the vision was a delusion. But a passionate romance is waiting for him in the Starbridge diocese, and Darrow must decide what spiritual path he is meant to follow in a dark and dangerous world.  "Mesmerizing. . . .
