The Preacher in the Shadows

Gabriel Serrano is a rising star in the Christian world—a gifted pastor whose voice fills stadiums and whose sermons move thousands. But behind the light of Summit House Church lives a man carrying wounds too deep for the stage. One night, after a powerful sermon, Gabriel receives a message that cracks his world open:

"I know who you are when the lights go out."

The past he buried—the father who abandoned him, the night that broke him, the secrets he hid from his family—comes roaring back through anonymous threats, leaked footage, and a man determined to destroy everything Gabriel has built.

As scandals spread and his ministry collapses, Gabriel is forced to confront the shadows inside him: fractured faith, hidden trauma, strained relationships, and a God who suddenly feels silent. When Gabriel's father resurfaces through the vengeance of another son he never knew existed, the battle becomes spiritual, emotional, and painfully personal. To save his family and reclaim his calling, Gabriel must walk into the darkness he has avoided his entire life.

The Preacher in the Shadows is a gripping, emotional Christian novel about secrets, redemption, family, betrayal, and the long journey toward grace. Perfect for readers who love Dante Gebel–style storytelling, faith-based drama, and cinematic spiritual fiction.
