Publisher's Synopsis
How far will a person persist in a lie? Is self-interest the only, over-riding issue in life? How pervasive are lies in our ordinary, daily lives? Achan's Disciple grapples with these questions and more as it follows the lives of two men bent on self-destruction, intent on gratifying their greed, and determined to cover it all with lies. Achan is a character in the Bible who lied about his theft and the reader is faced with the knowledge that one or both of them is his disciple. A pastor who is embezzling from his church and a cafe owner who is gambling away his future are on a collision course to ruin their lives. Will these two men resolve the messes they have created? Will they admit to the truth? Will they find redemption? Or will they lie to the bitter end?
