Description

Elias Vance did not expect to wake up. What he found on the other side, he wrote down on the backs of invoices in the last weeks of a life that had already, once, come to an end — the Terrace of New Arrivals, the House Being Built, the Sea of Glass, the Throne itself.

The Waiting Room of the Saints is Elias’s account, compiled by Timothy Holt and set inside the wider testimony of witnesses across centuries and continents — Rebecca Springer’s Intra Muros, the visions of Marvin Ford, Oden Hetrick, and the Indian sadhu Sundar Singh, the modern near-death experiences weighed against Scripture in John Burke’s Imagine Heaven. Where their accounts lean toward one another like iron filings toward a magnet, this novel walks the reader through, detail by detail — always held up against the plumb line of the Bible.

For everyone who has ever felt homesick for a country they couldn’t name: it is real, it is nearer than you think, and you are wanted there.
