Synopsis "God's Hangman: A Monument of Grace"
A Monument of Grace - a short historical novel Set in Victorian England and based on factual events, this novella brings together three famous characters in the late 1800's: John "Babbacombe" Lee; "The man they couldn't hang" at Exeter prison in 1885; James Berry from Bradford, the notorious hangman of the Victorian period, and later Smith Wigglesworth, also from Bradford - the outstanding preacher and founder of the Pentecostal movement during the start of the 20th century, who eventually plays a powerful role in the story.The failed hanging of Lee sets the tone for the rest of the book and the reader is left wondering what unseen powers might have influenced this mysterious event. The effect it has on Berry is profound, causing him to question his calling which he considers a legalistic duty ordained by God. His "co-incidental" encounter with Wigglesworth creates inner conflict within the hangman - a growing battle between the principalities and powers which become increasingly manifest in Berry's life.
