Product Description
Book Description
Chelsea Adams finds herself on the jury of a murder trial of a man accused of murdering his wife—a woman several people could have wanted dead—and as in Eyes of Elisha, Chelsea finds herself seeing startling visions.
From the Back Cover
Chelsea Adams has visions. But they have no place in a courtroom.
As a juror for a murder trial, Chelsea must rely only on the evidence. And this
circumstantial evidence is strong—Darren Welk killed his wife.
Or did he?
The trial is a nightmare for Chelsea. The other jurors belittle her Christian faith. As testimony unfolds, truth and secrets blur. Chelsea’s visiting niece stumbles into peril surrounding the case, and Chelsea cannot protect her. God sends visions—frightening, vivid. But what do they mean? Even as Chelsea finds out, what can she do? She is helpless, and danger is closing in. . . .
Masterfully crafted, Dread Champion is a novel in which appearances can deceive
and the unknown can transform the meaning of known facts. One man’s guilt or
innocence is just a single link in a chain of hidden evil . . . and God uses the
unlikeliest of people to accomplish his purposes.

Hard to put down
27 Feb 2006
Format:Paperback
Dread Champion is the sequel to Brandilyn Collins' book, Eyes of Elisha. While I enjoyed Eyes of Elisha, the plot didn't hold as many surprises as I would have liked. I'm very glad I kept reading. Dread Champion far exceeded my greatest expectations. The many threads of plot were tied together flawlessly and kept me guessing until the very end.
The heroine of the series is Chelsea Adams; wife, mother, and visionary--literally. Chelsea is a woman who sees visions from God. In Dread Champion, Chelsea is chosen to be on the jury of a well-publicized murder trial. Darren Welk, the "Salad King" of Salinas County, has been charged with the murder of his wife. Chelsea is sure she will be excused from the jury pool. After all, what lawyers in their right minds would pick her to be a part of a jury? Her visions of a young girl's murder in Trent Park had put her in the headlines just a year before. So she is stunned when she is accepted to be the second alternate juror. But, as the title Dread Champion (taken from Jeremiah 20:11) implies, God will accomplish His own purposes and choose to use whomever He will.
As fellow jurors give her the cold shoulder because of their knowledge of her visions; her visiting niece Kerra becomes involved with the son of the defendant; and God gives her a new, terrifying vision; Chelsea fights to pray and trust that God has placed her where He has for a reason.
God's work in each character's life in this story is as unique as the fingerprints He gives us. That, along with a tightly woven storyline, made this a book that was very hard to put down.

Once again, Brandilyn Collins has the perfect mix of suspense, drama, romance, and spirituality without preaching! I loved the characters, the believable storyline and was sitting on the edge of my seat at the end! Highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a great read! I couldn't put it down!

she rivals collen coble with her christian suspense writing. I quickly became a fan of hers and in the recent weeks since becoming one have read nearly every book she has written. I wish she could write books more quickly so I would always have something to read. Excellent
