Ruby Case, a disabled mother of two boys—and a prayer warrior for her community—just wanted to stay out of the limelight, and she is successful at doing so, that is until she unexpectedly raises a young boy from the dead. The people of the quiet coastal town of Stonetree wonder if it truly was a miracle.

His heart hardened by tragedy, the Rev. Ian Clark isn’t sure he believes in miracles anymore, but he is determined to find out. With the help of a few friends, Case and Clark uncover more secrets than they bargained for. Case’s town is ruled by demonic powers, and it’s up to a faithful few to stand together to expose and defeat the forces that have held their town captive for years.

Duran’s debut novel is full of characters having premonitions, seeing apparitions and engaging in occult practices. It is terrifying, but it’s also engaging and an eye-opener for the church, aiming to demonstrate that spiritual warfare is still a reality today. The Resurrection will appeal to readers of supernatural suspense and fans of authors such as Ted Dekker and Eric Wilson.
