The Seven Lampstands, Book 2
Three Knocks
Three knocks. That's all the warning you get.
Maggie Hale has counted New Horizon Fellowship's money for years. Then one Sunday night, a donor's check comes back stamped with two words that don't exist in banking: DECLINED. NO ATTESTATION. The deeper Maggie digs, the stranger it gets: a church financial document called the Covenant Roll, money moving through channels no one will explain, and then the knocking starts.
Laodicea is the wealthy church Christ calls lukewarm, blind to its own poverty. Three Knocks is a financial and institutional thriller set inside a wealthy Dallas-area congregation, where church aid, the school, the payroll, and the food assistance have all become conditional on joining the Covenant Roll.
