The Hammer of GodAugsburg Books, 2005 - 335 páginas In this bestselling novel, three pastors learn the necessity of relying on God's grace.

Ultimately each man rejects temptations and permits the Holy Spirit to work through him.This revised edition includes the final chapter, never before published in English.
