When the Saints Slide Back (Book 1 of the Redemption Files)

A Christian Urban Fiction Drama by Katrina Williams (Coach K.Will)

He preached deliverance, until he needed it.

Pastor Micah Carter was the voice of redemption in his city, a former hustler turned youth pastor with fire in his sermons and a testimony that filled pews.

But after tragedy shatters his family, the man who once led others to freedom starts drowning in his own hidden pain.

What begins as fatigue and grief slowly becomes compromise, then scandal; a single mistake that threatens to destroy his ministry, his marriage, and his faith.

As headlines spread and his reputation collapses, Micah finds himself stripped of everything except the one thing he’s always preached about but never fully understood: grace.

Now, in the quiet of his rock bottom, he must face the question that every believer eventually asks:

Can God still use a man who’s lost everything, including himself?

Told with raw honesty and redemptive depth, When Saints Slide Back is a story about the cost of calling, the danger of silence, and the mercy that meets us in the places we’d rather hide.
