The Book Of Joby

Lucifer and God have entered, yet again, into a wager and the existence of creation itself is balanced on the outcome. Nine-year-old Joby Peterson dreams of blazing like a bonfire against the gathering darkness of his time. Instead, he is subjected to a life of crippling self-doubt and mediocrity inflicted by an enemy he did nothing to earn and cannot begin to comprehend. The angels watch Lucifer work unhindered to turn Joby's heart of gold into stone. Joby's once luminous love of life seems altogether lost, and Lucifer's victory assured. One question occupies every mind in heaven and in hell - which will prove stronger, love or rage?
