The Saga of Grace Series
The Saga of Grace is a compelling series by author Ronald Chapman that explores the depths of human struggle, spiritual awakening, and societal transformation. Spanning A Killer’s Grace, The Dark Side of Grace, and the powerful third book, The Reckoning of Grace, this series follows investigative journalist Kevin Pitcairn and his beloved Maria Elena on a journey through trauma, truth, and transcendence. With each book, Chapman weaves a thought-provoking narrative that challenges conventional boundaries and invites readers into a rich, psycho-spiritual exploration of Grace in a divided and conflicted world.
In the videos that immediately follow, we begin to unveil the backstory of the series to date and, more interestingly with the videos at the bottom of the page, we open a window into the creative process behind Book #4, Grace Resurrected. Anticipated for release in Fall 2027, Grace Resurrected carries the story into a reimagined future where Radical Grace is no longer an idea, but a lived reality shaping human culture. This is not a dystopian vision, but the emergence of a new heaven and a new earth - an ancient hope that has echoed across prophecies, cultures, and generations.
