Heaven's Wager

By: Ted Dekker

Narrated by: Tim Gregory

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.

Critic reviews

'Rarely does a novel grip a reader's heart and soul the way Heaven's Wager does. Dekker is among a very small number of writers who have mastered the challenge of blending sound theology with knock-your-socks-off storytelling.'

'Well, well, guess what I've found. A fiction writer with a rare knack for a compelling story, an expansive reservoir of clever ideas, and a unique dry wit that makes me laugh.'

Very different than expected

Felt like story took a while to get started and then a little slow in middle but overall a good enjoyable listen.

Edge of your seat reading

The reality of our spiritual realm is sewn through the book compelling the reader to engage their own life in it.

Interesting and thought provoking

Sure gives food for thought. Whether I agree with the theological aspects set forth or not, It is a good story overall and worth the read. I like the way Dekker thinks.

Encouraging!

This book was life changing for me! I’ll never be the same. It touched my soul!

such a good book!

What an amazing story! I cried with the characters, I hoped with the characters, I even felt what they felt. such an inspirational story.
