Ted Dekker

It was an absolutely perfect day . . . until everything went absolutely perfectly wrong.

Kent Anthony is a brilliant software engineer who is cashing in on a brilliant career. He's finally living the idyllic life, far from thoughts of theft and murder and other kinds of horrible criminal behavior.

He's left his past far behind. Or so he thinks.

But in Heaven's Wager Kent will come face-to-face with a hidden world more real than most people ever realize--a world where the unseen is more powerful than anything seen.

The Heaven Trilogy

Heaven's Wager

A thriller unlike any you have ever read. A love strong enough to bring a tremor to your bones. A sacrifice powerful enough to make heaven weep.

At the close of World War II, a shell-shocked solider, Jan Jovic, was forced to inflict a game of life and death on a peaceful Bosnian community. In a few short hours, this young man was confronted by more love—and hate—than most experience in a lifetime.

Years later, Jan has become a world-renowned writer with widespread influence in the United States, his past buried deep in his memory. Until, at the most inopportune time, the game Jan witnessed comes back to haunt him . . . and unwittingly leads him to a beautiful broken woman caught in an underworld of crime.

Jan must now defeat an evil rarely seen. But there is a price. One that even this war-scarred solider can’t imagine.

Praise for When Heaven Weeps:

“Ted Dekker is one of the most remarkable creative writers of our time . . . engrossing and spiritually inspiring . . . highly recommended!” —Bill Bright, founder and president, Campus Crusade for Christ International

“When Heaven Weeps is a first in Christian fiction: a bold, knock-your-socks off, four-hankie, romantic supernatural thriller. And a brilliantly written one to boot. Hang on for something brand new.” —Mark Olsen, screenwriter and bestselling author of Hadassah

When Heaven Weeps

The world’s worst fears have dawned. Nothing stands in the way of total destruction . . . except the love of one woman.

Deep in the Amazon jungle a young American woman and the son of plantation owners fall madly in love. For Tanya and Shannon, life is a paradise most only dream about.

But today paradise ends.

The jungle has hatched more than idyllic love. It has also spawned insidious evil. An evil shrouded in a plot so diabolically brilliant that all of America will be brought to its knees at the hands of a few terrorists.

The plan is executed to perfection. There is no way out . . . save an ancient woman whose dark past has led her to a life of prayer in preparation for the unspeakable terror coming unleashed.
