The Way Back: The Hallway Between

What if the life you spent thirty years building was never the life you were meant to live?Richard Worthington is successful by every measurable standard. And utterly lost.On Christmas Eve, a car crash leaves his body on an operating table and his soul somewhere else entirely — in a hallway between this world and whatever comes next, guided by a man who calls himself Nicholas of Myra.What follows is not a typical near-death experience. It is a journey through history itself: the frozen silence of the Christmas Truce of 1914, where enemies laid down weapons and sang together across the mud; the Council of Nicaea, where the foundations of Western faith were hammered out in fury and prayer; the streets of first-century Bethlehem and Jerusalem; and finally, the darkest and most luminous moment in all of human history.But the history is not the point. The point is Richard — and the life he stopped paying attention to somewhere between the first promotion and the last argument with his daughter.The Way Back: The Hallway Between is a literary work of spiritual fiction about the quiet devastation of a life lived at a distance — from God, from love, from family, and from yourself. It asks the question every driven, distracted, success-chasing person eventually faces:Is it too late to find your way back?For readers of A Christmas Carol, The Shack, and C.S. Lewis's Till We Have Faces — a novel about eternity, regret, grace, and the gift hidden inside the life you almost missed. Read more
