This novel, written from a Christian worldview, was inspired by Imagine Heaven, The New York Times Best Seller, by Pastor John Burke.

Every year, thousands of people cheat death and come back to life. Many people have near-death experiences that offer a glimpse of Heaven. But none of these can compare to the remarkable near-death experience of Justin Parks.

The past three years haven't been easy for Justin, causing him to lose faith in a loving, personal God. His fiancée gets killed by a drunk driver a week before their wedding. A year later, after enrolling in the police academy in a misguided effort to avenge his fiancée's death, he mistakes a Black church pastor for an armed robber, shoots him in the chest, and nearly kills him. In the following months, he struggles with the backlash from the public outrage caused by negative media attention. And just when his life has seemingly returned to normal, a blow to the head sends him to a watery death, only for him to be revived by paramedics a few minutes later.

When Justin awakes from a coma in the hospital, he remembers nothing about the moments leading up to his death or the time between his death and resuscitation. He learns from his doctor that as his traumatic brain injury heals, fragments of memory from the moments before and after his death will eventually return. And return they do, in astonishing ways. Not only does he experience ultra-realistic visions of heavenly realms, but he also remembers portions of a judgment day-style life review that includes not only events from his past but terrifying events in his future.

Fearing he may be losing his mind, he looks for answers by attending a near-death research conference held at a local convention center. During one of the lectures, he meets Lydia Theodoropoulos, a quirky, young freelance reporter with a funny last name—and his life will never be the same.

This story is an uplifting, supernaturally suspenseful tale of renewed faith, forgiveness, and finding love again when all hope seems lost.

Dark powers lurking in the shadows threaten to destroy anyone standing in the way of their plans. The evil hits its mark when the police discover Jim with a smoking gun in his hand and the body of a church member on the floor.

From the Foreword

If anyone understands spiritual warfare, it’s Pastor J. Henry Watson.

In this compelling supernatural thriller, he weaves together his real life experiences and keen spiritual insights into a non-stop legal battle centered around a small New England congregation. From the opening pages, the reader is swept up into the mystery and suspense as a team of dedicated Christians work together to solve a puzzling case of attempted murder.

Buckle up for a “can’t put it down” roller-coaster ride featuring plot twists, surprising suspects and unlikely heroes. With each turn of the page, you’ll not only be entertained but inspired by the power of prayer and the value of friendship.

I’ve been privileged to know J. Henry and his wife Kristin for several years. I have witnessed their faith under fire, and their tremendous courage in the face of tragedy. When J. Henry writes about the challenges of the pastorate, local politics and the legal system, he draws from a deep well of both pain and purpose.

Anyone who enjoys reading Christian fiction books will love this “courtroom drama meets supernatural thriller.” I highly recommend to you both the message and the messenger.

Everyone thinks Poppy Kyle is naturally happy and positive. But it took a major tragedy in her life for her to overcome her natural negative tendencies and develop a happiness attitude. She will not allow the surly West Barclay to steal her joy.

After West Barclay lost his parents in a car accident, he spent some time in foster care. Unfortunately, he fell in with the wrong crowd and saw just how rotten life can be. He still carries the scars. Poppy, with her perpetual smile and positive attitude irritates him to no end.

He couldn’t think of a person he would be less inclined to be snowed in with.

So, of course it was Poppy who had delivered the church’s supper to his ranch when the Snowstorm of the Century hit, closing down all roads and stranding two people who can barely stand each other together for a week.

Is it possible that they will see beyond their surface irritations and fall in love?

A midnight tryst, an unknown admirer and a baby that is delivered to church with just a short note.

On the day Deacon Hudson was set to be ordained, a bundle shows up at the church with a simple note on it. Deacon Hudson is the father. Take care of her.

Deacon knows he’s not the father. The Immaculate Conception was a one time thing. But the baby needs a parent, and he has to decide if he will give up his life dream of being a pastor to take the child, despite the fact that the note is a lie. Can he do it without resenting the child?

Blair Dixon made an unthinkable decision and sacrifice, driven by the unfathomable love a mother has for her child.

She served her time. Now she’s back to fix the mess she made.

It might not be possible to straighten everything out.

It’s definitely not possible for her to get everything she wants – the best everything for her daughter and the love of the cowboy she chose to be the father.

But small town gossip can be vicious, and unless she comes up with a plan, she could ruin his life a second time.

After what she’d done, love was impossible. Or was it?
