If Billy Graham and Richard Dawkins teamed up to write a novel it would have been this book. Have you ever felt divided in your worldview, like there were two people living inside of you, one an atheist and the other a believer in God? This supernatural thriller is the story of an atheist and a believer in God, Karl and John Moreland, the two halves of a man with multiple personality disorder who have shared the same body and the same soul since birth. They have recently died and their shared soul is now standing trial in the afterlife to determine where they will spend eternity. Karl, the atheist, is the one conscious during the trial. Dorian, a fallen angel who broke out of hell and is trying to earn his way back into heaven by defending souls, is tasked with persuading the judge, the archangel 'Raphael', to let Karl and John into heaven. Raphael is unwilling to let Karl, an atheist, into paradise. But Dorian convinces Raphael that hell would not be fair to John. Raphael then comes up with an unprecedented compromise, allowing Karl to be the first atheist who is given the chance to believe in God after death and have it count in his favor. But, even standing outside the gates of heaven, Karl refuses to believe. Raphael then tasks Dorian with trying to convince Karl that God exists. If the fallen angel succeeds, then he will finally be allowed to reenter heaven. Desperate to convince Karl of God's existence, Dorian goes to earth and pieces together Moreland's troubled life story of broken dreams and relationships in hopes of finding out why John so easily believes and why Karl is so adamantly skeptical. What Dorian discovers is that an atheist and a believer being trapped in the same body and soul was no accident, and John and Karl's life masks a truth that if exposed will forever change life on earth and the afterlife.This book is a modern day Ecclesiastes. King Solomon would be proud.
