The Charms
A Novel About Eternal Choices

Book Cover & Preview Text
I excitedly realized that now I knew the meaning of those “tributes” from the king that were in those beautiful little gift boxes on the tables in the grand ballroom. I recognized that the design and wrapping were identical to those the girls had received years ago. YES! They had to be the crown-shaped charms mentioned in that book that Mrs. Drake read to the girls at their last garden tea together. It was:
“Blessed is the one who perseveres under trial because, having stood the test, that person will receive the crown of life that the Lord has promised to those who love him.” James 1:12.
(How surprised they all will be when they open their boxes during the reception.)
It was at this point that I suddenly realized that I could stay no longer at the king’s estate for the rest of the celebration, as I was supernaturally transported into another garden and time —preparing to continue my life’s work for The Kingdom.
Respectfully submitted,
Driscoll

About the Book
One resource indicates that “allegory is a figure of speech in which abstract ideas and principles are described in terms of characters, figures, and events. The objective of its use is to teach some kind of a moral lesson.” Accordingly, the intent of this book is to explain the letters to the seven churches in the book of Revelation in fictional stories. Such stories are based on seven middle-aged women whose lives in current-century circumstances possibly parallel the good and poor choices made by those churches to which the letters are addressed. Their lives are closely followed and, at times, directed by the character Driscoll, who is a truly supernatural person of the angelic sort.
