Maybe you’re not as free as you think you are. Even worse, you may have been duped into believing that a “balanced” life is the key to happiness (it isn’t) or that a relationship with God is about rules and restrictions (nope). Whether it’s media-fueled fear, something a parent or teacher said, or dark spiritual forces bent on keeping you down, something is holding you back from the full-on freedom God intends for you. The Bible says, “Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.” Not fear. Not guilt. Not morality. Freedom. You can have the sort of joy you thought only kids could have.

Lexi lives in the shadow of choices her husband made, especially Grant’s choice to leave seven years ago, without a word. When Grant shows up declaring his intent to re-enter Molly’s life, Lexi determines not to let him near their daughter. Then a drug dealer arrives on Lexi’s doorstep, demanding payment of Grant’s debts. But that’s just the earthly perspective; staggering supernatural events are spilling into her world. Hell’s fury is great, but Heaven’s power is greater still. In a novel that defies easy categorization, this has all the early buzz of the breakthrough read of 2010.
