The Shepherd's Path

by David F. Gray

"It can't happen here!" Scott Sampson believed that with his whole heart. He repeated those four simple words countless times to his wife Beth, confident that he was right. He was wrong. Dead wrong. In the year 2002, the United States government officially seizes control of every local church. Only sermons approved by the newly-formed Bureau of Religious Affairs can be preached. Pastors must place themselves under the bureau's authority. Owning a Bible is forbidden. Now Scott is on the run, wanted for treason. His attending an illegal gathering of believers--an underground church. Pursued by the bureau's agents, Scott sets out on a cross-country journey, desperately seeking a safe haven. Everything he believes in will be put to the test. Thus you enter the world of 'The Shepherd's Path'. It is a world writhing in evil corruption, where meeting together to worship the Saviour is considered an act of treason. It is a world where Scott Sampson will be tested. Can he find true victory in the midst of the darkest days of his life? Spiritual forces clash in 'The Shepherd's Path', the first book in the Shepherd's series. This riveting novel warns us to be ready...it can happen here.

About the author

David F. Gray is an award winning television producer and director although his first love has always been writing. He wrote his first short story at age 10 based on the television show Lost In Space and featuring his boyhood crush, Penny Robinson. Three years later he abandoned poor Penny in favor of the more worldly Judy.

He is older and heavier than he would like to be and possesses a sense of humor that has gotten him into trouble on more than one occasion. Contrary to the opinions of his friends and his two adult offspring, he is NOT insane. He is currently working on the sequel to his novel, Gamble's Run, tentatively entitled Darksoul Rising as well as a handful of short stories. He and Heidi, his wife of thirty four years, live happily in Sulphur Springs, Florida, an older Tampa neighborhood where rumors of ghosts are common.

I loved David Gray's Shepherd's series. This book and its sequel "The Shepherd's Man" was an impressively well told post-apocalyptic (as far as faith is concerned) story.
