SynopsisPaul Young, author of the international bestseller, The Shack , tells a story of the incremental transformation of a man caught in the torments of his own creation, somewhere between heaven and earth. Anthony Spencer is egotistical, proud of being a self-made business success at the peak of his game, even though the cost of winning was painfully high. A cerebral hemorrhage leaves Tony comatose in a hospital ICU. He 'awakens' to find himself in a surreal world, a 'living' landscape that mirrors dimensions of his earthly life, from the beautiful to the corrupt. It is here that he has vivid interactions with others he assumes are projections of his own subconscious, but whose directions he follows nonetheless with the possibility that they might lead to authenticity and perhaps, redemption. The adventure draws Tony into deep relational entanglements where he is able to 'see' through the literal eyes and experiences of others, but is "blind" to the consequences of hiding his personal agenda and loss that emerge to war against the processes of healing and trust. Will this unexpected coalescing of events cause Tony to examine his life and realize he built a house of cards on the poisoned grounds of a broken heart? Will he also have the courage to make a critical choice that can undo a major injustice he set in motion before falling into a coma?

Best Books!
These are two of the very best books I've read. They take you on adventures of the heart and the soul. I'd say these books could be life-changing for a lot of people who have questions about God and what God may be like and how He works through his design. The author is phenomenal! Read these two books if you want to experience God from a new view. But really, "nothing's new under the sun" (Son).

LOVE this book, great story.
When I guest started reading, really dislike the main character. Young draws on the emotions is what a terrible person this guy us & you want to see him get what he deserves! But the story gets so much better. Go with it and enjoy it. It you're too much if a grumpy realist, don't read. If you like to think of possibilities, you'll enjoy!

Great read!
I really enjoyed this book; I especially enjoyed the humor and the somewhat off-beat uniqueness of the authors story line and the level of creativity in his story building and revealing characters... Truly a unique experience and story.

Thought Provoking
I found this book to be a good read throughout. The characters portrayed in this writing were believable. The humor that was interjected in appropriate places was a welcomed change of pace. Parts reminded me of purgatory depicted in Roman Catholic Doctrine. With God's help and direction all can and will work for the ultimate good.

Cross Roads all around us
I loved The Shack! This one is written in that same format giving us a glimpse of some of the characteristics of God.. with less of a story behind it? It’s still worth the read!

Crossroads by Wm. Paul Young
I was impressed in how quickly the book arrived. I had read Young’s The Shack and am now reading Crossroads. I doubt that I will be disappointed in the finish as Young is a terrific writer.
