Overview
The Temptation continues the sagas of Haven, Nebraska, visitors Julia, Kathy, Del, and Walter as they live out the commitments they made in The Quest. Now successful in their separate pursuits, the Havenites think all is going well-and therein lies great danger. As complacency attacks the characters' focus on God, they start believing their achievements have risen from their own savvy and power. When Del decides to organize a reunion, the characters face Satan's chaotic interference and learn the true nature of temptation: inevitable, subtle, biting, and potentially disastrous. They must recover their courage to live out their plea to the Lord: "Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. . . ."
Synopsis
Julia, a politician without direction...Del, a homeless man...Kathy, an artist afraid to create...Walter, a producer drowning in cynicism...Natalie, a writer caught in an illusion...Four years ago, small white invitations brought these people together in a place called Haven, where they encountered the living God. Two years ago, they battled and--by God's grace--defeated the evil forced unleashed to keep them from their God-given quests. Now it's a new day. Plain and simple, the Havenites have arrived...and therein lies the danger. Now this group of friends must face one of the enemy's most effective tools: success. As they do, they gain a far better understanding than they ever desired of the Master's fervent prayer: "Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil..."
