The Waiting Room: A Novel

You've never forgiven that person. You tell yourself it doesn't matter anymore. But what if, at the very edge of death, someone showed you exactly how wrong you were? When airline pilot Bob Frisbee flatlines in a hospital bed, he doesn't find a tunnel of light or a choir of angels. He finds a room. A waiting room. And a guide named Mr O, who holds a file on every wound Bob ever caused, every bitterness he buried, and every person he refused to forgive. The wheel of Bob's life glows bright for the people he loved and goes dark for everyone else. From the schoolyard bully to the father broken by war, each dark spoke must be lit before Bob can move on. But forgiveness isn't just a lesson here. It's a near-death experience that comes at a cost. And when Bob takes the Escape Tunnel, he discovers that life after death has its own version of outer darkness. Researcher of the Nephilim, angels, and demons, L.A. Marzulli brings prophetic vision to this Christian afterlife fiction that does not romanticise the other side. Between heaven and earth, Bob encounters the cosmic war Scripture calls real, fallen angels, the second coming in motion.
