This is the story of Emmanuel, the Deliverer, and his is the story of Christian salvation reimagined in modern day."Songs of the Deliverer by Elvo Bucci is a beautiful novel. There is no other word to describe the potency and the effortless way it was written. The textual complicity with the Bible is amazing, plus the multi-level text gives the perfect spark to an already powerful story."
