Heaven's Wager

By: Ted Dekker

Narrated by: Tim Gregory

It was an absolutely perfect day . . . until everything went absolutely perfectly wrong.

Kent Anthony is a brilliant software engineer who is cashing in on a brilliant career. He's finally living the idyllic life, far from thoughts of theft and murder and other kinds of horrible criminal behavior.

He's left his past far behind. Or so he thinks.

But in Heaven's Wager Kent will come face-to-face with a hidden world more real than most people ever realize--a world where the unseen is more powerful than anything seen.

Critic reviews

'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.'

'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.'

Very different than expected

Felt like story took a while to get started and then a little slow in middle but overall a good enjoyable listen.

Edge of your seat reading

The reality of our spiritual realm is sewn through the book compelling the reader to engage their own life in it.

Great narrator

I really enjoyed this book. At first I was thinking, “How can this go for 30+ more chapters?”, but it had me hooked for the whole book. It was made especially good by the awesome narrator.

The God of Miracles

Love the way Dekker writes and connects to each individual in his /her on way in the story telling.

The realism, both the anger/hatred and the love/compassion.

I liked the pace and the progress, it didn’t seem to trudge or slow that much in the story telling. Character arc was pretty well done.
