    About this audiobook

    It was an absolutely perfect day . . . until everything went absolutely perfectly wrong.

    Kent Anthony is a brilliant software engineer who is cashing in on a brilliant career. He's finally living the idyllic life, far from thoughts of theft and murder and other kinds of horrible criminal behavior.

    He's left his past far behind. Or so he thinks.

    But in Heaven's Wager Kent will come face-to-face with a hidden world more real than most people ever realize--a world where the unseen is more powerful than anything seen.

    Ted Dekker

    Ted Dekker is the award-winning and New York Times bestselling author of more than forty novels, with over 10 million copies sold worldwide. He was born in the jungles of Indonesia to missionary parents, and his upbringing as a stranger in a fascinating and sometimes frightening culture fueled his imagination. Dekker's passion is simple--to explore truth through mind-bending stories that invite readers to see the world through a different lens. His fiction has been honored with numerous awards, including two Christy Awards, two Inspy Awards, an RT Reviewers' Choice Award, and an ECPA Gold Medallion. In 2013, NPR readers nationwide put him in the Top 50 Thriller Authors of All Time. Dekker lives in Nashville, Tennessee, with his wife, Lee Ann.

      I wish I could get these missing hours of my life back! I think this is the first time in my life that I have disliked a novel this much. My hubby & I listened to it on the road & we both thought it was absolutely TERRIBLE! Several dozen “scenes” dragged on for several minutes (or more!) when they should have been 1-2 minutes long. Neither of us can say anything good about it.

      That said, we listened to Dekker’s 49th Mystic books & absolutely loved them. Try one of those instead.

      This book was too drawn out for the ending to be subpar.

      An incredible deep dive in the trapped mind of anyone who has ever been wronged and could not get past it. The lure of the suffering mind to pay back the offenders even at the cost of integrity thus becoming the very thing that triggered his suffering to begin with. Funny, thought provoKing, entertaining cautionary tale on the thoughts we entertain and follow through with . Loved it.

      This goes with the Martyr's Song series and was another powerful message. Some of the plot was pretty far-fetched and the dialogue was a bit cheesy, but overall I loved the book.

      I really wanted to like this book. In fact, I was -expecting- to like it, which probably makes it even worse. I've heard so much about how amazing Ted Dekker is, but... eh.

      None of the characters come across as...well, anything. They're all incredibly dull, and the plot isn't good enuogh for me to not care about the flat characters. I got fifty pages in, flipped through the rest, and decided that I really couldn't take reading another three hundred pages of it.

      I'm going to read some of Ted Dekker's later stuff, and I seriously hope it's better.
