The Lost Verses

Two years after his little sister's death shattered his faith, college-bound Andy is asked by his mother to find a set of tattered Bibles whose gold-printed verses make scripture come alive in vivid, shared dreams. When he stumbles onto the very books in his campus library, Andy joins a wounded veteran, an artist, a blind patriarch, a librarian, a grieving widower, and even a scornful professor—all drawn to read. But a foul, book-hunting spirit stalks the volumes, and only faith and one watchful stranger can keep them safe.

• Scripture literally comes to life: read the golden verses and you wake inside the story, wearing the robes and hearing the ancient tongue.
• A cynical college skeptic is forced to confront the miracle his mother swears is real—and a reeking evil that hunts the books.
• An ensemble of wounded souls—a shell-shocked veteran, a blind patriarch, a grieving widow, a scornful professor—each healed by the verse they most needed.
• A gentle good-versus-evil tale with a shape-shifting 'cricket man' crow and an ageless guardian angel named Mr. Angell.

“For those who read the verses printed in gold, the stories come to life.”

Perfect for a reader who loves gentle, faith-affirming stories that make Bible scenes come alive and offer comfort through grief, in the vein of inspirational fiction that crosses denominational lines.
