Michael Lister

    11 februari 1968

    Michael Lister is een meester in literaire suspense, bekend om zijn poëtische proza en diep gebrekkige, meeslepende personages. Zijn verhalen verkennen vaak diepgaande thema's als leven, dood, kunst en betekenis, geworteld in de suggestieve landschappen van zijn geboortestreek Noord-Florida. Met invloeden uit de zuidelijke verteltraditie en een scherp inzicht in de menselijke psyche, levert Lister spannende, authentieke en sfeervolle verhalen die bij de lezers in de smaak vallen.

      It’s not too late to discover the lost gospel of Jesus and begin to live by it, to change our direction, to once again become people of the way. We could, with humility, embody compassion and justice. We could so completely trust God that we dare to share what we have with those in need, love those who hate us, bless those who curse us.What’s been lost can be found again. Do we dare? Can we hear the call clearly and be so moved we must respond? If we sense that something profound and precious has been lost, we can do something about it. It’s like a treasure that’s been lost, long since buried in a field. All we have to do is go and sell all we have and buy the field.My goal with this intentionally simple, slim volume (based on scholarship, but not bogged down by notes and references) is to attempt to remove that which has obscured, hidden, and even replaced Jesus and his radical revolution, extricating him from the stiflingly narrow religious context that all but silences him so his message can reverberate around us, resonate within us.There is hope.This can happen.If Jesus teaches us anything, it is that which was once dead can live again, that which was lost can be found.

An exacting and methodical killer whose weapon is fire is working on his masterpiece, and only a wounded and scarred FDLE agent and a retired ritual crimes expert hiding from the world in a cabin in the woods have any hope of stopping him."--From publisher's website.
