Jonathan Ward's brother, Arthur, has been murdered. The murderer has escaped out the back door, but the bloody murder weapon is in Jonathan's hand. Con-man that he is, and given the argument he had had with Arthur an hour earlier, he knows he will be the prime suspect in his brother's death. He cannot afford to come under the close scrutiny of the law. He just may have to perpetrate the greatest, and most challenging con of his life, but is he up to it?To pull off the most daring stunt of his life, Jonathan will not only have to convince Arthur's friends, the police, and the public, but- worst of all-the beautiful Angela Milford by his monumental deception.Having rejected his brother's faith, however, and his godly life-style, the changes he will have to make, may just be more than he is willing to endure. With the murderer still lurking in the shadows, he may not just be risking his own life, but also that of the woman who has captured his heart. Born in South Africa in 1943, Christopher Shennan really began to live on the 29th of August 1967, when he was born again through the power of Jesus Christ. Since then, only one passion has consumed him; to communicate the love of Christ through any and every means at his disposal. Christopher and his family served as missionaries in Zimbabwe where he established a church amongst the Shona tribe before moving to Canada in 1984. With fourteen published books behind him, his passion is to pass on all God has taught him to the next generation. Five new novels and numerous non-fiction projects he expects to take him the rest of his life.DOUBLE DECEIT, represents one of the greatest challenges of his writing life. Begun almost twenty years ago, it was abandoned when barely seven chapters had been written. Its classical theme and spiritual dynamic seemed to him beyond his ability at the time. Urged by friends and students he at last took up the challenge again. Only constant prayer and the conviction God wanted him to write this book enabled him at last to cross the finish line. He sends it forth now with the earnest prayer God will use it to impact the lives of his readers."
