  • SOULS The Black Rose and the Cult of Deception

    by Hope Hollinsworth Coaxum & Bob Todaro

    Angels and demons are everywhere, we just don’t see them. Their job is to influence and lead souls to either heaven or hell. It’s a battle that rages all around us for the soul of every human and neither side wants to lose.

    Juan Carlos Martinez, “JCM,” the Mayor of Elgin, Illinois, is a young up-and-coming politician with aspirations of advancing his political career to higher office. His constituents like and respect him. In spite of his good intentions and solid reputation, evil influences try to lead him down a path of corruption, with the objective of destroying his career and stealing his soul. The demonic forces of Dante, the head demon, are making the road to future success for JCM contentious at best. Matthias, the head angel of God, fights to keep JCM and others on the straight and narrow path of righteousness and truth with timely intervention and divine assistance.

    Politics is a business and sometimes can be a very dirty game, especially when the battle between the mystical forces of good and evil are at play. Will JCM compromise his ethical and moral principles for political gain? Will his desire to succeed force him to sacrifice his core beliefs and ultimately, surrender his soul? Will those closest to him betray him? Everyone’s soul is at stake by the decisions they make, as their choices in life will ultimately determine their eternal destiny.

  • SOULS

    by Bob Todaro, Hope Hollinsworth Coaxum

    A battle rages between the forces of heaven and hell for the soul of every human. The war is going on all around us; we just don’t see it. The choices we make in life determine our eternal destiny. Which path are you on? You may just find out.

    Right smack in the middle of New York City, the demons and angels are hard at work. Maggie Hargrove, an attractive middle-aged fashion executive, is in the middle of a major life crisis. Her ex-husband and business partner have destroyed her career, stolen her company, and ruined her reputation. Dante, the head demon, looks to seize on these opportunities to drag her into the depths of hell. Matthias, the head angel, counters by putting himself and others in her path to help her regain her confidence. Neither side wants to lose.

    SOULS: The Battle for Our Eternal Destiny navigates the twists and turns, exposing characters for who they are—or who they become when prompted by spiritual forces.
