Explora Books is featuring The Hiding Place: Be Not Deceived by Paulette C. Hammack at the London Book Fair, taking place March 10–12, 2026, at Olympia London in Hammersmith, UK. This work of fiction is described by the author as appropriate for all ages and focuses on a situation where families deal with outside circumstances through faith and working together.

Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, 11th Feb 2026 – The story is set in a small suburb, which, despite being surrounded by nature and feeling peaceful, cannot escape bureaucracy and outside control. The narrative quickly establishes a sense of daily life being subtly invaded by “the powers that be.” The main characters, the family of Rachael, a social worker, and Joshua, a church deacon, along with their children, Gabriella and Raphael, are introduced as a typical family living in ordinary times. This sense of normalcy is disrupted when their children come home from school discussing new textbooks that promote a new philosophy.

Hammack wrote this book starting in 2013, presenting it as a story about the world situation and God’s intervention. The book addresses the struggles and victories associated with daily Christian living. Testimonials praise the book for capturing the essence of the struggle and victory Christians face in daily living and for reminding the reader to be “alert to those things that are not what they seem.” The narrative structure uses short, focused chapters with titles like “Perception Is Entering In,” “Deception of the People,” and “Acquisition of the People.” The characters, including social workers, teachers, and church members, each face the central challenge of recognizing deception that has subtly entered their community.

A recurring concern in the story is the danger of not being alert, which allows people to fall into traps. The narrative features multiple interconnected families and individuals, such as Jeresah, a director for the Department of Human Services, and the counselor Monica and her sister, Moriah, all of whom become involved in the growing crisis. The story’s underlying message is one of overcoming fear and seeking guidance through faith.

Explora Books invites visitors to examine this timely fiction that explores how people react when they are forced to confront circumstances that threaten their personal lives and beliefs.

The Hiding Place: Be Not Deceived is available on Amazon and other major retailers.
