The book is finally finished! That was the fun part. Editing and re-editing it for the publisher has took nearly a year but the final copy was approved and it is on sale at lulu.com. See link below. It will soon be at amazon.com.

Guy Moore, an American missionary to South Africa, will stop at nothing to hijack the Pentecostal Holiness Fellowship into the hyper-charismatic, “River” movement, including hiring an assassin to take out the Fellowship’s leader. When Pastor Solomon Tate and his wife, Goldie, cannot be intimidated into joining the “River” movement, they must be silenced before they expose Moore’s covert plan. When they discover someone they least expect is secretly working behind the scenes, they realize they are alone in the battle to save their Fellowship, and eventually their own lives.

Set in the culturally rich environment of the Xhosa tribe of post-apartheid South Africa, Sol and Goldie must not only stand against Moore, but also against the witchcraft of the township elders who oppose their new church. When Elephants Fight is the story of two brothers from the Radebe clan who must choose between the God of the Bible, or continue to serve the ancestral gods of their culture. Throw in Nelson Mandela, apartheid, the “laughing revival,” Desmond Tutu and the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, 9-11, the “river snake,” a kidnapping, spiritual abuse, a “who-done-it” murder mystery with a table-turning twist, the birth of a thriving tent church in the township, a love story, and the reality of God being able to overcome anyone's agenda, and you have an historical novel that will appeal to a large spectrum of Christian readers both in the U.S. and South Africa.
