Trial by Time

by Thérèse Judeana

An impenetrable shadow has bound the galaxy of Andromeda for centuries. After a freak accident of space, an empire of slave traders learns to control time. Now nothing can stop them from taking whom they will. In the deadly currents of a universe torn by the Marauders, can Marc, one of the galaxies’ guardians, protect those he loves? Will his daughter survive her traumatic past? Can anyone bring light to the Marauders and break Andromeda’s chains?

In this second book of the trilogy, entitled Trial by Time, Samantha, captured by Medrhos, is plunged a thousand years into the past, faced with the prospect of becoming a Marauder herself: with or without her free will. Meanwhile, Marc must play his part in Talitha’s fate. As they face their worst nightmares, a shadow creeps across the horizon: one which even Medrhos can’t hold back.

TESTIMONIALS

“Beautifully and almost poetically descriptive, Trial by Time is a perfect, smooth continuation of Cross of Secrets. Therese Judeana’s lifelike characters exhibit strong faith in God’s will for their lives throughout their trials, showing readers that when it seems all is lost, we can find hope in God as we surrender ourselves to Him and His plan for us, just like Marc, Samantha and Aiyra did. As the characters fight against the immoralities of slavery, more secrets are revealed and the fight for good to triumph over evil continues. Mingling life’s sorrows with its joys, Therese Judeana has been blessed with the ability to convey these emotions to her readers through her incredible writing. She writes of holy romances that strive to put God at the center, and she describes the settings of the story so clearly that the reader can picture these worlds as if they were seeing Mal’lon or Almedra with their own eyes. I look forward to reading Shards of Crystal, and I don’t want this remarkable series to end.” – E.G. Enga, author of The Children of the Chapel and the First Christmas

The Messiah of the Metro Café

The Messiah of the Metro Café

The Messiah of the Metro Café

By Ronda Chervin

It was 9:00 A.M., October 24, 2022. The reporters of the Catholic Weekly of Los Angeles met in the chief editor’s office for their special assignments.

“This cult leader is influencing some St. Mark’s seminarians from his throne in a nearby café.”

“I’ll take that one,” Teresa grinned enthusiastically.

And so began the conversion of Michael Kaufman.

TESTIMONIALS

“This story is a delightful witness to the wonder of the Catholic faith, the Sacraments and the Catholic priesthood.” Marti Armstrong, M.S., Pastoral Counselor
“Once again, my friend Rhonda Chervin has produced a very provocative book: The Messiah of Metro Cafe.  It is both historical and contemporary at the same time. I highly recommend this book as a source of enlightenment to all readers.” – Robert Sizemore, Retired Sociology Professor
“Another wonderful creation by the insightful writer-philosopher Ronda Chervin. Her realistic characters use dialogue to explore important ideas and move the narrative as Dostoyevsky does. Thus, Dr. Chervin evangelizes through literature.” – Kathy Campitelli – Art Teacher
“Readers, this is a page turner.  Ronda Chervin’s writing style flourishes with personal little details to help the reader identify with each person you meet as you read this little gem. The kernels of wisdom introduced through the various perspectives of Michael, Teresa and the seminarians add sparkle to the discussions. Anyone interested in the struggles of religious life is certainly going to encounter provocative discussion points to ponder and discuss with friends. Love the Metro Café’s description and setting, detailed by strong visible adjectives.  Ronda Chervin’s gift for exposition works beautifully as she creates settings for the weekly meetings. The reader can pick up hints by studying the author’s talents for developing character, dialogue, plot, setting and intriguing details so readers feel part of the story!” – David E. Dowd, Catholic Street Preachers, Poet-Pro Life Activist, Erstwhile Free Lance Writer
