About the Book

A dream that will not stay a dream

When the sun grows faint and the last grains of sand give way to eternity, two well-regarded men — Reverend Goodweed and Professor I. B. Worthy — reach the platform just in time to watch the last trains for Paradise pull away.

Watching from the sideline is Christian Hope, shaken by their disappointment and haunted by a dream of his own: a fall into hell, where its most agreeable residents — Mr. Stuff and Mr. Things To Do — prick his conscience into open battle for his soul.

Along the way, the story pauses for an unexpected exclusive — a beloved secular song whose lines carry unnoticed overtones of Christ and His cross — and a plain-spoken teaching on the three innate parts of every human being: spirit, soul, and body. Every page presses toward one question: when death comes, and it will come, what will your choice be?

From the opening pages

It was another day of little light, as the remaining grains of sand gave room to the onset of eternity.

The Journey · Eleven Stops

The Paradise Line

Every chapter is a station. Some travelers board in time. Some argue with the conductor. One falls off the map entirely — and finds the way back.

Dramatis Personae

Souls you will recognize

Written in the old allegorical tradition — every character is a mirror, and one of them is holding it up to you.

C

Christian Hope

The Dreamer

Lingers between waking and the abyss, watching what indecision costs — until the battle turns toward his own soul.

G

Rev. Goodweed

The Minister

A lifetime spent near the platform, a ticket never punched. Proof that proximity to truth is not possession of it.

W

Prof. I. B. Worthy

The Scholar

Credentialed for every kingdom except the next one. His disappointment sets the whole dream in motion.

S

Mr. Stuff

The Collector

Hell’s spokesman for everything you couldn’t take with you — and everything you traded to get it.

T

Mr. Things To Do

The Busy Man

Forever rescheduling the one appointment that mattered. His calendar was full; his lamp was empty.

A

The Patrolling Angels

The Watchers

Sentries of the unseen who explain faith, plainly and patiently, to a soul running out of night.
