Book Description
This debut thriller of angels, demons, and corporate espionage is “part fantasy, part gripping depiction of delusional madness . . . Take the plunge” (Vanity Fair). A nameless angel has been out of God’s favor since things went wrong with his last mission, two thousand years ago. He has spent the intervening millennia watching humanity fall into moral disrepair. Lately, he’s been watching Will, a London businessman attempting to expose his company’s dark dealings to the press. But Will’s campaign is not going well. In a moment of weakness and bravado, the angel decides to spiritually take Will over—“jumping in” as he did with Jesus of Nazareth. But as the angel comes up against demonic forces fighting to maintain the status quo, Will increasingly loses his grip on himself. Is he truly caught in a cosmic struggle of good versus evil . . . or merely a delusional man crushed by the hypocrisies of modern society? Powerfully written, fast-paced, and perfect for fans of Chuck Palahniuk, Joe Hill, and Bret Easton Ellis, What I Tell You in the Dark is an unsettling story of omnipotence, mayhem, capitalism, and corruption.

Pages : 164
Book Description
What if it is death that teaches us how to truly live? Keeping the end in mind shapes how we live our lives in the here and now. Living life backward means taking the one thing in our future that is certain—death—and letting that inform our journey before we get there. Looking to the book of Ecclesiastes for wisdom, Living Life Backward was written to shake up our expectations and priorities for what it means to live "the good life." Considering the reality of death helps us pay attention to our limitations as human beings and receive life as a wondrous gift from God—freeing us to live wisely, generously, and faithfully for God's glory and the good of his world.
