By Force, By Tulas stands as an intriguing read, recommended for anyone interested in fictional narratives that skillfully intertwine with elements of faith." - Literary Titan "Clever and compelling, this bold and unapologetic tome is highly readable, full of surprises, and brimming with fresh insights. Bravissimo! " - Reedsy Discovery By Grace, By Mercy is the conclusion of a two-book series that started with By Force, By Tulas, in which Pastor Dare's church got a new neighbor - a strip club. What could go wrong, right? Sparks could fly between the owner of the strip club and the pastor's daughter - Dr. Lisa Gabriel. Sparks of a literal kind could also fly. By Grace, By Mercy starts with Lisa reaching out to Ken on a business matter related to the location of the incinerated strip club building. Though Ken considers Lisa's faith a minor matter, Lisa cannot overlook Ken's unchristian lifestyle. And there is the matter of Ije - the woman Lisa found with Ken, and Dr. Banks - Lisa's university boyfriend, a Christian and the one preferred by her parents. Then, Ken suffers a loss and a tragedy. And though he can depend on Lisa for help, will Ken also see the limitations of money and accept his dependence on God for his very breath? Will Lisa choose the sensible Dr. Banks who has all the right boxes checked? Set in Nigeria, Ken Amadi and Dr. Lisa Gabriel's story places the Biblical dating principle of being equally yoked in a backdrop of conflicted family dynamics and an ideological divide. It confronts single Christians with the gravity of the choice of a spouse, while encouraging graciousness.B. Akisanya
