Beyond Sudden Death: A Novel

Ella Braide was clinically dead for eight minutes.

What she experienced was nothing like the near-death stories she'd heard. There was no light, no peace, no comfort. Only suffocating darkness, unspeakable creatures, and one terrifying certainty: This is where you belong.

She awakens clawing at a stranger's arm, begging him not to let her die again. Now back among the living, Ella is haunted by a single question: If I die again, where will I go?

Desperate for certainty, she embarks on a relentless search through a maze of competing faiths, religious systems, and promises of salvation. But as time runs out, Ella discovers that the answer she seeks may be far simpler than she ever imagined.

Beyond Sudden Death is a gripping novel that takes eternity seriously. As Ella races to find assurance before it's too late, she discovers a life-changing truth. But is it enough to save her from the darkness she fears beyond death?

The story drew me in, not only to care about the characters but to think biblically about some tricky ideas that can derail believers and unbelievers alike. Very readable, this book addresses important matters-for this life and the next.
