Life is hard for unwed mother Gisele Domingo who just got fired from her job at the library. She lives with her son Jonathan in her parents' home and her only solace is her love for Jesus, which she teaches to her son so he will love him as well. During renovations of her parents home, Giselle finds what later is known as "The Jesus Letter" which proves Jesus lived and was resurrected. Her faith is stronger than ever as she becomes an international celebrity.

Gregorio Vargas, a singer with the Christian band the Jesus Freaks, is a world renowned celebrity but his fame and fortune don't take away his loneliness. He saw Giselle at a concert where he was performing and he never was able to get her out of his mind. They are thrown together at a speaking engagement where Giselle talks about her find and both realize they are soulmates. After a very rocky courtship, they marry and bring the Jesus Paper to Israel. There she is kidnapped by Muslims who want her to renounce her find because the letter nullifies all existing religions. A miracle delivers her from her kidnappers but Giselle's future is cut short by a freak accident and it is only their faith in God and his son that keep her two men from sinking into despair.

Each character in KING OF GLORY is accompanied by an invisible Jesus who walks with them though they don't realize it. He gives them peace and hope and he never gives up on those who turned their back on him. This exciting ecclesiastical thriller wrapped around a Divine love story is a creative and inspiring tale. Kristen Halter gets her message of Jesus' love through actions that speak for themselves.
