Experience one of the first novels from New York Times bestselling author Ted Dekker. “[Heaven’s Wager is] genuinely exciting . . . fast paced . . . spine-tingling . . .” —Publishers Weekly A thriller unlike any you have ever read. A love strong enough to bring a tremor to your bones. A sacrifice powerful enough to make heaven weep. At the close of World War II a shell-shocked solider Jan Jovic was forced to inflict a game of life and death on a peaceful Bosnian community. In a few short hours this young man was confronted by more love—and hate—than most experience in a lifetime. Years later Jan has become a world-renown writer with widespread influence in the United States his past buried deep in his memory. Until the most inopportune time the game Jan witnessed comes back to haunt him . . . and unwittingly leads him to a beautiful but broken woman caught in an underworld of crime. He must now defeat an evil rarely seen. But there is a price. One that even this war-scarred solider can't imagine. “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.” —Frank Peretti New York Times bestselling author “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.” —Robert Liparulo novelist and contributing editor of New Man magazine
