Deliverance

AGAINST ALL ODDS, slaves are liberated after centuries of bondage.A rag-tag band of disciples comes upon an empty grave, guarded by an angel with astonishing news.These stories, replete with mystery and miracles, are the stuff of faith.

If the right bidder steps forward, a sale could potentially give the landmark a fresh debt-free start.
