The Birthmark [Hardcover]

Joshua Samuelson is born with a birthmark on his right palm just below his thumb, the same as his mother. The significance of this mark becomes evident when, as a young man, he was summoned by an unknown great-aunt to take over the family businesses. She quickly procures him as the sole owner of Kerioth Industries, explaining, to his amazement, that he is a descendent of Judas Iscariot. The perils associated with this sudden development create strife and danger for him and his family. Joshua's guardian angel witnesses these events, and due to near-death encounters, an intervention becomes necessary to forewarn him of future danger. The Angelic Regime watches Joshua's difficulties escalate with direction from a dominion angel, the archangel Raphael, and the Prince of Peace, who is his protector. Lucifer, the prince of darkness, pushes to capture his soul, a great feat if accomplished.
