My Thoughts:

This story was not at all what I had expected. I thought it would be about the cancel culture, no, this book delves much deeper than that.

What do you do when you work as a seminary professor and do not believe in the God of the Bible? Or any one of your colleagues? In fact, what if they all have their own opinions of what god is? But what if you were all forced to deal with the supernatural that none of you believed in and you could not just dismiss it away with trite excuses?

I know that was a lot of questions for this review, but that was what I had for this entire book. What was the author's plan and how was this all going to play out in the end? As I read this supernatural mystery from the perspective of a man who did not believe, it was a bit creepy. Jerold had no one really to stand with him. Everyone was in a way canceling him, besides the obvious canceling that was happening in his life. What does it mean to be canceled? - to be erased.

This was a supernatural thriller that does deal with real life consequences when certain religious leaders have an apathy about the spiritual realm. The spirit realm certainly doesn't feel the same way towards them. Creepy and engrossing, I would not read at bedtime, and I would recommend for the mature believer.

I was provided an e-copy of this novel. I purchased a paperback for my reading enjoyment. I was not required to post a positive review and all views and opinions are my own.

Cancel Culture? This is worse.

All around us we see our culture changing, and not for the better. Sometimes it seems like all the voices we hear are filled with anger, hatred and intolerance.

There’s a reason for that:  They are all rooted (you guessed it) in anger, hatred and intolerance.

It was time to step back and look at what it’s like to be canceled, but from an entirely different source: The Supernatural.

The main character is a preacher, but one of those who does NOT believe in a supernatural god. He doesn’t know what he believes. But when he’s finally confronted with a supernatural experience he cannot deny, he finds that walking on the dark side is going to cost him his life.

The only solution, both for him and the one he falls in love with, is to know God, and get access to the supernatural weapons he never dreamed existed.

  3. This will be interesting to read, especially when one considers that there are many non-believers in the seminaries and churches.
