" Thoroughly moving, RIVEN leaves an indelible impression on the reader.  Its characters and message stay with you long after the final chapter.  For me, it is also a deeply personal reminder of why God called me to prison ministry so many years ago ."  Chuck Colson - Founder - Prison Fellowship "Jerry Jenkins sets the standard for creative stories and compelling novels.  Any bookshelf that is lacking his writing is missing a treasure.  Max Lucado, pastor and bestselling author "Jerry Jenkins writes from his heart a unique and engaging story.  RIVEN is touching and unforgettable."  Randy Alcorn, best-selling author of Heaven "This novel will stay with you long after the final page.  RIVEN'S complex characters will keep you riding an emotional wave until  you are washed ashore in an astonishing conclusion.  Read RIVEN at your own risk.  It might unsettle the way you live."  Dr. Michael and Cindy Easley - Moody Bible Institute, President "Some books are fun to read; other books testify to real life transformation.  RIVEN does both.  You'll recognize yourself in the character - the weary man of God, the rebel without cause, the searching 20-something.  Find in their stories the place where real life begins - on level ground at the foot of the cross.  Jenkins gives hope to anyone thinking that they've run too far from God.  RIVEN pictures God's relentless pursuit of each of us.  RIVEN is a testimony to God's power to transform any and every repentant person."   James MacDonald, pastor and Bible teacher, Walk in the Word "In RIVEN Jerry Jenkins has literally cast a "good spell." I was captured from the beginning and found myself becoming so absorbed in the characters I felt like I could call them by phone! The story takes you on a journey of emotions that leaves you breathless in the end. The word awe comes to mind, and any book that takes you to such a place in your heart is priceless indeed! I highly recommend it to all!"  Ray Bentley, pastor, Maranatha Chapel, San Diego, California Reviews: CBA Retailers and Resources Magazine "Jenkins' RIVEN leaves a lasting impression long after the final page is read." Christian Retailing "New York Times best-selling author Jenkins said RIVEN is the novel he's always wanted to write, perhaps because of its story of redemption.  It may also prove to be the book the average bibliophile has always wanted to read.  With RIVEN, Jenkins has delivered a gripping, page-turning inspirational novel about redemption and a life changed.  The easily accessible story is poised to appeal beyond the author's "Left Behind" fans to a wider range of readers." Publisher's Weekly "Left Behind fans may be surprised by Jenkins' versatility " Harriet Klaussner - Amazon #1 reviewer "Jerry B. Jenkins is one of the best Christian authors writing today.  RIVEN is a memorable tale starring a man who feels he is a failure and another who only has death waiting for him in three years time.  They met and both feel the Lord working through them giving each what they need.  This book will move the audience in so many ways and make them feel so many things.  This is a masterpiece" Deanna Peterson at Deannasbooks.blogspot.com #8

Synopsis
When a condemned man with nothing to lose meets one with nothing to gain, everyone washed by the endless ripples of that encounter will forever recall the day a little bit of heaven invaded a whole lot of hell. Brady Wayne Darby and Thomas Carey could hardly have been more disparate individuals. Yet when Darby, a no-account loser raised in a dingy suburban trailer park, encounters Carey, a weary man of God, an entire-state indeed, a nation-is affected. Embark on a wondrous journey where death, guilt, and despair are unfathomably trumped by rebirth, forgiveness, and hope. Author Jerry Jenkins says: "This is the novel I have always wanted to write. I determine whether a fiction idea has merit by how long it stays with me. Does it rattle in my brain, and do I find myself telling it to my wife and other confidants? Is it the type of a tale that will draw me back to the keyboard every day? Two-thirds of my published books have been novels, and only three have had that effect on me. I give my all to every one, but special joy and anticipation attend those that genuinely feel like the best ideas. Riven is my fourth such labor of love. The two main characters have remained in my memory since high school 40 years ago. The story idea is perhaps 20 years old. And those mystical, interweaving elements I hope make it all work have been tugging at me for more than a decade. If a novelist has a life's work, this is mine. I hope in the end you agree and that Riven stays with you long after the final page.", When a condemned man with nothing to lose meets one with nothing to gain, everyone washed by the endless ripples of that encounter will forever recall the day a little bit of heaven invaded a whole lot of hell.

    The book the seller sent is one that's special to me, hard to find, and which I had unfortunately lost. Not only was the price more than fair, but the seller was prompt to respond to inquiries, shipped the item quickly, packaged it safely, and its condition -- listed as acceptable -- was actually "Good!" I would definitely buy from them again, and appreciate that they also do charitable/humanitarian work, as that is a part of my work and purpose.

    A very good book

    It is a compelling story with great characters. His writing is very engaging. It is a little long, could have been a few pages shorter.
