The Reckoning of Grace (September 2025 Publication)

In a world fractured by ideological division and cultural upheaval, The Reckoning of Grace offers a timely and powerful exploration of healing, resilience, and transformation. The third installment in Ronald Chapman’s Saga of Grace series (A Killer’s Grace and The Dark Side of Grace), this novel blurs the line between fiction and spiritual reflection, delving into the personal and collective struggle beneath today’s social unrest.

Investigative journalist Kevin Pitcairn and his beloved Maria Elena Maldonado - now leading voices in the Watching, a nationwide movement of silent, nonviolent resistance - find themselves under threat by those who view their message as a danger to the established order. When violence hits close to home, they are forced into hiding, guided by Father Anthony de Franco and a community of enlightened seekers.

As the nation reckons with its own divisions, Pitcairn and Maria Elena must face the inner wounds that echo the world’s turmoil. Their journey becomes one of post-traumatic growth, spiritual healing, and the pursuit of transcendence in the face of fear and betrayal.

Chapman’s rich character development highlights diverse, deeply human struggles, inviting readers to reflect on their own path toward wholeness and reconciliation. Central to the story is the rise of the Divine Feminine, a force that disrupts traditional power structures and offers the promise of a more inclusive future.

Blending spiritual insight with gripping narrative, The Reckoning of Grace is a thought-provoking psycho-spiritual thriller that calls us to examine our inner lives, our role in society, and the possibility of unity in a divided world.
