The Yoke - Darrell Dunham

For Barnabas Mitchell, life had always been a struggle. From his father’s abandonment to his mother’s untimely death, Barnabas had lost his faith in God and in people. Determined to fulfill his potential, Barnabas continued on out of respect for his deceased mother, grinding through his days feeling unloved and unneeded.

Then Bill Cushman entered his life. Tall, good-looking, athletic, and from an influential family, Bill was accustomed to getting his way in life. Making use of people was natural to Bill, and he immediately latched onto Barnabas, demanding his friendship and submission. Wherever Barnabas went, Bill would unexpectedly appear. No matter how hard he tried, Barnabas could not seem to shake Bill from his life. 

Barnabas encountered Stephanie Schultz while attending law school. She was the type of person he had always wanted in his life. Pretty, smart, strong, and a believer, Stephanie admired Barnabas, but she knew he was struggling with his faith. She was determined to help Barnabas reclaim his faith, even as he knew that his beliefs were a wall between them.

As a lawyer, Barnabas quickly earned the respect of his peers. When the biggest case of his career pits him against Bill Cushman, Barnabas must figure out a way to save his clients from Bill’s underhanded attempts to steal their most prized asset. In the process, Barnabas is forced to decide whether he will reclaim his faith.

The Yoke is a compelling journey of faith, love, forgiveness, and redemption. It is a must-read for anyone searching for meaning, faith, and spiritual focus in their life.
