David, a respected college professor, and his wife, Kari, appear to be the perfect couple: churchgoing, prosperous, and blessed with a beautiful daughter. But their love and commitment are threatened when their only child is kidnapped right from under them in their gated community in New Orleans.

The police immediately launch an investigation and set out to find the child of this high-profile couple. Reports surface of a serial kidnapper on the loose with a pattern of killing his victims on the seventh day, so there’s no time to waste. In pursuit of information relevant to the case, the police uncover startling information about Kari. Now Kari’s past threatens her marriage and challenges the couple’s capacity to forgive.

New York Times bestselling author T.D. Jakes—who was executive producer for the film on which On the Seventh Day was based—brings the silver screen to the printed page in this unforgettable, heart-wrenching story of love, suspense, and faith.
