In the Palm of His Hand: A Story of Love and Redemption "...neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand" (John 10:28) (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9798897850969)

Franklin and Rhonda fell in love in high school. After graduation, he worked a full-time job at night. He took business courses at the local community college during the morning hours. His goal was to someday climb the corporate ladder.

Rhonda felt that she was not college material. During the day, she worked a job that had no future. During the evening, she loved to have a good time. Her goal was simply to be the supportive wife of a successful man.

With such a conflict in goals and lifestyle, their love affair soon fell apart.

However, out of sight doesn't always mean out of mind. They would meet again a few years later. They quickly learned that the fire of love still burned as hot as ever.

Times change, people change, and circumstances change. But true love always remains. Now Franklin is no longer a kid chasing a dream. As for Rhonda, she is a single mother trying to raise an impressionable young son named Raymond.

She has hidden the identity of her son's father from everyone. Her mother isn't told. Franklin isn't told. Her son isn't told. No one is told. And Ray-Ray desperately wants and needs to know his father. She does all she can to prevent Franklin and Ray-Ray from bonding. Her fear is that her son would be hurt badly if Franklin leaves her again.

In a search for help, Franklin turns to the neighborhood guidance counselor, Doc. All who seek his advice receive the answers they need. But who is Doc? How does he always know just the right thing to do? Will he be able to advise Franklin? Can he help Rhonda and Ray-Ray? Will Jesus help them? Only the Holy Spirit knows for sure.
