Reviled and vilified, Madison Newman journeys into a hostile world to warn against the powers of spiritual darkness. A girl with a unique gift, the runaway teen touches the lives of the people she meets in a powerful way as she seeks to fulfill what she believes is God's will. Leaving her friends and family behind, the runaway teen outrages a fallen world as she delivers a message of warning to the lost against the coming judgment. Encountering persecution from unbelievers and the media, Madison must rely on her faith and the guidance of the Holy Spirit to sustain her as she faces the world's opposition. While Madison's message resonates with those who hear her speak, the forces of evil plot to silence her voice and discredit her message. Even her trusted traveling companion conspires against her, steering her ever closer to false faith-healer, Russell Stillman, who is ready to exploit the girl's gift for his own purpose. As the final days draw closer, Madison is desperate to reach a world that has become spiritually bankrupt and blind to the battles being waged just beyond its ability to comprehend. "The Message," is the second book in the exciting new series by author J. R. Pickens.
