The Gift Charles R Zickler Jr

Connor's heart was beating hard against his chest, he felt dizzy. When his fingers touched the envelope he was offered two things happened in an instant. The myopic image, which had appeared as a hologram, changed into a flesh and blood individual. Then a sensation of power followed flowing up from his fingertips to flood his body. He moved from his seat in a flash and fled from the tent. Connor did not look back. The Gift is a suspenseful saga. It's the story of one man's harrowing confrontation with Satan and the angels of God. When a man in his mid-life crisis, a baby boomer who's finances and life is in shambles, has an encounter with the devil, learns he is marked for Satan's collection, all hell breaks loose. Yet, for the price of his soul Satan offers him a contract, the chance for 'a Life of Eternal Joy.' Satan eventually takes him on a visit into hell to 'witness his burning fields.'Forced to face mortality, and an eternity of life in hell's fires, he seeks redemption through faith. The ensuing battles for an abyss of damnation or the glory of salvation rages. His attempt at reconciliation with God is electrifying. He receives help in this struggle from sources never expected and discovers others that are already, 'soldiers in Satan's legions.' Along the way he fights for his life and that of his family when Satan quests for the collection of his soul. A climatic battle, an apocalyptic probe at a masquerade ball, claim many souls and obligate others.
