Exciting fiction premiere from beloved New York Times bestselling author Beth Moore.
Only God knew why Jillian Slater agreed to return to New Orleans on the news that her father had finally drunk himself to death. It’s not like they were close. She hadn’t seen him—or her grandmother, the ice queen—in almost 20 years. But when Adella Atwater, the manager of her grandmother’s apartment house, called and said Jillian’s expenses would be paid if she’d fly in for the burial, a free trip to New Orleans was too intriguing to resist.
What Adella didn’t tell her was that the apartment house wasn’t a house at all and, whatever it was, bore the dead weight of a long and painful history. As soon as Jillian meets the odd assortment of renters and realizes that her grandmother had no idea she was coming, she hatches a plan to escape. But the investigation into her father’s death quickly unfolds and Jillian is drawn into the lives of the colorful collection of saints and sinners who pass through Saint Silvanus. She soon discovers there is more at stake than she ever imagined. Who is behind the baffling messages and the strange relics left on the steps? Is it possible that her family is actually cursed? Or is it just this crazy old house that holds them all under its spell?
Jillian walks into a web of spiritual and personal danger borne out of her family’s broken history, and despite Adella’s wiliest efforts, only God himself can orchestrate the undoing of all that is going on at Saint Silvanus.

Summary
Book Title: The Undoing of Saint Silvanus Book Author: Beth Moore What do you like about this book:
Jillian Slater's life could best be described as fractured; practically homeless after fleeing an unhealthy relationship, she lands in New Orleans with her estranged grandmother, where her father's unsolved murder taints everyone and everything around her. Saint Sans, a beautiful former Methodist sanctuary, houses an eclectic group of tenants, ranging from a eccentric widow to a gregarious housekeeper; whose attempts at humor and conversation are constantly at odds with Jillian's carefully guarded personality.
When a regretful misunderstanding sends Jillian fleeing the temporary refuge that Saint Sans has afforded her, dark forces battle to destroy the barest flicker of life within her soul. It will take the love of Jesus and miraculous circumstances to undo the cursed past that Jillian has inherited, proving once again that "greater is He that in us than he that is in the world".
Full of beautiful prose, eerie plot twists, comedic relief, and romantic undertones; Beth Moore has maximized her incredible understanding of spiritual truths to blaze her own trail into the world of inspirational fiction.
