Wretched
Saints
by Assaunta Fay Howard
and Marc Lacy
AVO Publishing
Wretched Saints is a jarring collection of
fiction short stories authored by
Poet/Author Marc Lacy and Assuanta Fay
Howard. This unique book forces readers to
choose sides and to escape the lukewarm
lifestyle.
Between these covers may be your spark to
eternal life or a ticket to everlasting
confusion...depending on how you look at it.
For we all have the greatest intentions at
heart regardless of whatever we may desire
to accomplish. Our faith provides energy and
focus during the lifelong scamper down the
path of righteousness. However, one thing
that poses the greatest challenge is the
fact that no human being can escape being
human...’til death do us part. Temptation
lies behind each exit off of Heaven’s
highways. Detours become more alluring as
construction takes place within the most
crucial times of our lives -- in turn,
potentially providing a next day delivery
service to hell’s doorstep.
Wretched Saints provides a literary window
through which we may possibly see traits of
ourselves within one or more of the
characters as they learn the hard way to
listen when God is talking. Thus His signal,
when digested properly allows suppression of
sinful urges opening up the door, for
spiritual growth.
Are you a Wretched Saint? Open the
covers...and see.
Of course our desire is to walk within The
Kingdom’s Neighborhood, but it can be very
difficult leaving the alluring amenities of
home. We have the protocol down pat;
especially when others can witness us
“witnessing.” However, when backs are turned
and the sun has set, the righteous hotness
of the self-proclaimed saint can suddenly
turn lukewarm. Although the tongue can no
longer house rationalizations, we still find
a way to verbally cover spiritual
deficits...thus casting us further into a
pit of unrighteous debt surrounded by
several unused shovels.
