Overview

If there ever was a time when our world needed healing, that time would be now.


"Darko" is a perfect parable for the times. Written by author Kenny G. Down with a great deal of experience, wisdom, and love, you'll be swept away by the incredible progression of events and the characters who inhabit this world. Darko is a bright beam of light that is certain to make the reader think long and hard about our own attitudes and beliefs. It will give you a renewed feeling of hope and a desire for real change.


In Darko: The Sacred Heart of Johanee Darko we embark on a parable for our troubled, divisive times through the story of the coming of a savior for the world. In his third book, Down uses the device of a narrator named King Martin (or simply I King as he is later referred to) to introduce us to the infant Johanee Darko, a child who seemingly has been born full of purity and light and with the intention of curing society of its ills.


Johanee is growing up in the Desire neighborhood of New Orleans, an area troubled by prostitution, addiction, alcoholism, and crime. Desire is also plagued by broken families, absentee mothers, and missing fathers. Yet this messianic infant, Johanee Darko, appears devoid of the corruptions which are visited upon others. She is the essence of love and innocence and as we follow her life, we see the influence she has on others. Unaware of the presence of such vast societal evils that appear to be tearing humanity apart, Johanee is something of a miracle in her preciousness of heart and soul.


In addition to this purity of mind and purpose, I King describes Johanee's experiences as she grows up and is visited by the voices of Mary, Saint Margaret, and the Archangel Michael. It is not long before it is clear that Johanee may be the true savior who can heal our world from its inequities and the pain that comes from the feelings of division and otherness. Johanee creates the Sacred Hearted Movement and sets out to spread her message of love and trust in others.


This is an epic tale of spirit and faith that will both inform and illuminate. As we see Johanee's mission and her encounters with others, we see the coming of a female messiah who may very well be the last and best hope to save the world. Johanee is a modern-day Joan of Arc, a saintly figure who has the ability to address the complex issues that are threatening to destroy humanity.
