NINE WITNESSES ACROSS FIFTEEN CENTURIES. SEVEN WATCHMEN ON THE SEA OF GLASS. ONE UNBROKEN STILLNESS. Across the turbulent centuries of Church history, the invisible war is not won by the loudest sword, but by the quietest surrender. From a dusty Umbrian road outside Assisi in 1205, where young Francis dismounts to kiss a rotting leper, to a sealed desert fortress in third-century Egypt, where Anthony confronts the phantoms of fear; from the inquisitors' parlors of sixteenth-century Spain with Teresa of Ávila, to the plague-stricken streets of Siena and a bricked-up anchorhold in Norwich with Catherine of Siena and Julian; from a Paris monastery kitchen and a cell in the Bastille with Brother Lawrence and Jeanne Guyon, to the dawn of time with Enoch and the volcanic rock of Patmos with the aged Apostle John—nine men and women discover what waits in the stillness between the stones. Above them, upon the blazing crystal of the Sea of Glass, the Seven Watchmen—Moses, Esther, David, Paul, Deborah, Daniel, and Samuel—stand in ceaseless intercession, witnessing how the supreme bondage-breaking power of the blood of Jesus Christ shatters the ancient Strongholds of Shame, Fear, Lying, Grief, and the Occult. “And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.” — Revelation 12:11 (KJV) Grounded in verified historical timelines and primary texts, The Stillness Between the Stones is a sweeping, six-part standalone omnibus novel in the Light vs. Darkness Universe by Timothy Holt.
