Twin brothers, yet total opposites. Concerned about the
decrease of polar bears in the Arctic, journalist Thomas Asher plans a trip he
never takes. Billionaire investor with the ability to mesmerize an audience,
Jude Asher seeks a Senate seat no matter the price. After all, “the end justifies
the means” according to Jude. When Thomas reluctantly joins Jude’s campaign,
the past comes back to haunt him. A past that involved mysterious forces at
play in Jude’s life and that still orchestrate events in the present. This odd
phenomenon sends Thomas on a quest for answers which leads him to a remote
mountain area in Montana. All the while, Jude powers his way to the top, but at
what cost?
In Jude, Jeff Nesbit writes a chilling account of what can
happen when a human driven by demonic powers is left unchecked. Written with
simplicity and clarity, Nesbit delivers a compelling story dealing with complex current
issues and a clarion call concerning future events.
I would have enjoyed more action over the predominant
back story and narrative, but overall, the book lived up to its promise. Reading
groups: Pick this one up! Jude offers much to ponder!
Release date: September 20! Pre-order

Ramona
Tucker and Nesbit co-founded OakTara Publishers, an inspirational
fiction publishing house, in 2006 to encourage new writers and bring
out-of-print works from established authors back into the marketplace.
OakTara has published 300-plus titles since then.
His latest
novel, JUDE, will be published by David C. Cook on Sept. 20, 2013. It’s
available for pre-order now. Emperor gods have ruled the earth only one
time before in modern history - during the time of Jesus. The rise of
Christianity ended their reign as emperor gods more than two centuries
later, and none have appeared since. So is it possible for an emperor
god to rise again? JUDE explores that question: "A man rises to the
pinnacle of earthly wealth, fame, and power by calling on demonic
powers; his twin's opposing path brings him into direct conflict," the
publisher says of the novel. His two previous novels in 2011 and 2012
—PEACE/Summerside Press and OIL/Guideposts—looked at what might happen
if Israel decides to attack Iran's nuclear facilities.
