Description

Lord Forgive Me is the gripping story of Eduardo Mendes, a powerful megachurch leader in São Paulo whose tightly controlled world begins to unravel after receiving a convicting letter from João—his former friend and associate whom he excommunicated for questioning his teachings. The letter accuses Eduardo of replacing Jesus with himself, preaching prosperity instead of grace, and leading thousands astray.

Though resistant at first, Eduardo is shaken. Doubt creeps in, and with the quiet support of his wife Mariana—who had silently questioned him for years—he begins a journey of repentance. His sermons slowly change. He preaches grace over dominion, rest over works. The shift unsettles his leadership team, especially Marco, who fears the collapse of everything they built.

Eduardo publicly admits his mistakes, burns his previous books, and commits to rebuilding his ministry around the true gospel of Christ. The backlash is swift. Pastors resign, donors withdraw, and social media erupts with criticism. Yet, former members wounded by the old system begin to return. His family, too—once divided—begins to heal.

Despite fierce resistance and personal loss, Eduardo presses forward. The church transforms. What was once an empire of control becomes a community of grace. Eduardo finds peace—not in power, but in humility.

Lord Forgive Me is a redemptive novel about repentance, restoration, and the cost of turning back to truth. It shows that even the most entrenched spiritual leader can change when confronted by love, truth, and the courage to admit, "I was wrong."
