Deep calleth unto deep at the noise of thy waterspouts. — Psalm 42:7Two thousand meters beneath the Gulf of Mexico, behind a curtain of drifting silt that no sonar has ever pierced, lies the hidden kingdom of Mayim. Its people sing the Psalms in the dark. Its king, Tehom, has kept them concealed for generations, obeying a charter given by the Most High: Hitherto shalt thou come, but no further. Sailors have a name for them, though they don't believe in them: los fantasmas de lo desconocido. The ghosts of the unknown.The last time the merfolk were seen, the king lost his queen to men who wear no nation's colors.Selah Vance has dreamed of a girl in the water since she was seven years old. An investigative journalist from Port Aransas, Texas, she has spent her life exposing what powerful people bury, and her life being laughed at for the one thing she has never stopped believing. Her grandmother told her that God had lit a lamp inside her, and to keep it lit. So when Selah lowers a deep-sea camera into the darkest water of the Gulf, she isn't surprised by what rises to meet it. She's been waiting for it her whole life.The face in the glass belongs to Liora, the king's daughter, who has been dreaming of Selah just as long.Now Selah holds forty-seven minutes of proof. And as she quietly builds her case to show the world, she learns she isn't the only one who has been searching. A secret Bureau, buried inside the U.S. government for nearly eighty years, has spent decades making sure no one ever finds what she found. Witnesses are dying. Evidence is vanishing. Her friends are disappearing one by one. And the man who runs the Bureau has learned that Selah may be the key to the door he's been hunting for thirty-nine years.Selah must answer the question her grandmother warned her about with her dying breath: not whether the truth should be told, but whether it is hers to tell.The Deep Calleth is a spiritual suspense novel about calling and obedience, about the things God conceals and the people He trusts to keep them, and about the cost of wanting to be believed. Rich with Scripture and set between the Texas coast and the floor of the abyss, it is a story of faith, forgiveness, and the wonders that still lie hidden in the deep.It is the glory of God to conceal a thing: but the honour of kings is to search out a matter. — Proverbs 25:2 Read more
