Description
Multi-millionaire Anthony Spencer is trapped in a coma and finds himself in a surreal world that reflects the skewed priorities of the life he's lived on earth where he meets a stranger who turns out to be Jesus and a grandmother who is the Holy Spirit.
Pleading for a second chance, he is sent back to earth to redeem himself. There he must fight to put right the mess he's created, experiencing events through others' eyes before deciding how to use the miraculous gift he's been given. Before his illness he had set events in motion that he now needs to undo - but will he have the courage to make the right choice?
THE SHACK is an international phenomenon, surpassing 1 million copies sold before being picked up by a mainstream publisher: its combination of radical spirituality with a heart-wrenching story made it a word-of-mouth hit, and CROSS ROADS has all the ingredients to repeat its impact.

Reviews / Votes
One of the most faith-enhancing books I have ever read. * Bear Grylls on THE SHACK * This book has the potential to do for our generation what John Bunyan's Pilgrim's Progress did for his. It's that good! * Eugene Peterson on THE SHACK * This book is speaking loud and clear to a lot of people * The Independent on THE SHACK * Bunyanesque - bold, imaginative, humane and funny * Church Times on THE SHACK * Cross Roads will make you think, as well as cry and laugh out loud, often in the space of a few minutes -- KK * Christianity *More details
