Publisher Description
T.L. Hines' mesmerizing debut thriller-one of Library Journal's Top 25 Christian novels of 2006-tells the gripping tale of a troubled man who finds a reason for living while confronting the ghastly face of evil. Jude Allman has actually died and come back to life-three times. Haunted by paranoia and fearful that life has no purpose or meaning, Jude lurks behind locked doors. But when his heightened senses detect immanent death, Jude tries to rescue the captive prey of a fiendish pedophile. "Compelling . well-paced suspense . dynamic characters."-Kirkus Discoveries

""The first time Jude Allman died he was 8 years old". Isn't that a great opening line? From the intrigue generated by this statement the story continues, as the reader learns bits and pieces about Jude's bizarre brushes with death--three so far--and also about his current life as a paranoid janitor in hiding. Jude has tried to escape the media and the curious by changing his name to Ron and taking a low profile position as a school janitor. But a mysterious visitor shows up at his doorstep one day, right around the time that some bizarre things start to happen to him. He starts to have wierd visions, and he starts to break out of his paranioa. But even more troubling is that several children in the area have disappeared--and likely been murdered--and Jude's visions may be able to lead him to the killer.[return]T.L. Hines has crafted a real pageturner, full of plot twists that had me fooled as to who the real killer was going to be. He reminds me of Ted Dekker for his ability to combine heart racing suspense with religious themes. I look forward to reading more from him in the future."

" Loved this book! I could not put it down. "
— Tracey, 2/12/2014 -
" Great book, totally enjoyed it. "
— William, 1/12/2014 -
" I love "out there" books that make me think and set me on edge. This one does that for sure! It was a good book and moved me to read the rest of this T.L. Hines' books. "
— Stephanie, 1/1/2014 -
" Really unputdownable! I did find the whole "I-can't-die" thing and the whole "I-see-visions-from-God-even-though-I'm-not-a-believer" thing a bit weird. It is fiction though so maybe I ought to give it a break. And it's a really good read. "
— Andrew, 12/29/2013 -
" I really enjoyed this book. And the great thing is, it was a free Kindle book! Hines really takes you for a ride, making you think you have everything figured out, only to be surprised over and over again. Very cleverly done. "
— Tim, 10/22/2013 -
" A decent sci-fi story with a good twist. Suitable for my older kids to read, nothing offensive in it. "
— Gini, 8/16/2013 -
" Great mystery in the Christian fiction genre "
— Amy, 5/15/2013 -

— Vicki, 1/20/2011 -
" interesting - would not have picked it up on my own - but enjoyed it. "
— Brenda, 8/28/2010 -
" I liked it, but some of the jumping back and forth from one chapter to the next was a little awkward. The storyline was good and it was nice to see how the main character changed during the course of the book. "
— Suzie, 8/7/2010 -
" I'd read more from this guy. interesting story told well. "
— Peg, 4/29/2009 -
" this started out to be a great read with the main person. I like all the wanting to know this person and all the mystery.. but like many others of this style of a mystery... the ending fell short of my expectations. based on the the beginning. "
— Heathr, 10/20/2008 -
" I liked this book. A little out there but I would recommend it "
— Brian, 10/15/2008 -
" This book was slow moving in the beginning. I think the author's first novel. Glad I stuck with it though. I enjoyed it more as it went, and took me for a loop at the end! "
— Dawn, 9/3/2008 -
" Enjoyed the suspense. Page Turner. "
— Doni, 8/20/2008 -
" When you finish it it makes sense, but getting to the end is a bit of a struggle. Overall a pretty interesting read, but the second novel by this author is much better. "
— Tracy, 8/5/2008 -
" A book that was given away in a box, but a surprisingly good story. A man dies and comes back to life 3 times.. is there a purpose? Good mystery, suspense, supernatural, love, all mixed in. "
