Ascension - Paperback

by Anneliese Zahra Khalil (Author), Natalie Bavar (Editor), Eli Bavar (Contribution by)

An intense, poetic, and theologically provocative supernatural thriller.
Joel Stevens wants to die-until a strange man named Donovan interrupts his suicide. But Donovan is no vagrant. He is a fallen angel seeking redemption. And Joel, shattered and vulnerable, may be his only path to salvation.
Through Donovan's cryptic guidance, Joel is drawn into a divine mystery: the process of ascension-not reincarnation, not salvation, but transformation into an angelic being. To ascend is to become something more than human-but only if one can survive the unraveling of body, soul, and self.
Joel's wife, Sarah, watches in growing horror as her husband slips deeper under Donovan's influence. A scholar of ancient manuscripts, Sarah recognizes the pattern of dangerous ascensions-some that ended in darkness. She suspects Donovan is playing God. Donovan insists he's obeying Him.
Is Sarah protecting Joel from spiritual ruin-or unknowingly resisting the will of God? And is Donovan really leading Joel toward the light... or into fire?
