Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - In every moment, we choose between Heaven and Hell.The good people of Battle Hill are getting ready to put on a play by the renowned playwright, Peter Stanhope. As the rehearsals continue and the date of the premier draws closer, many things that are hidden are revealed.Among them is the fact that nearly every choice presents us with both an invitation and a temptation. Pauline Anstruther is invited to face her deepest fear, and to dare to believe that she can offer succor and support to a long-dead relative at the moment of his greatest need. Lawrence Wentworth is tempted to forsake the company of real (and therefore difficult) people and retreat into illusion and isolation. To choose connection and community is to choose Heaven, to reject it is to descend into Hell.Descent into Hell is among the most subtle and profound of Williams' novels. In it, he most fully presents his theology of substituted love.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - A battle over the most sacred object in Christendom. In the tiny English village of Fardles, a practitioner of black magic has located the Holy Graal in the sacristy of the local Anglican church. Intent on possessing it so as to amplify his own nefarious powers, he tries to trick its guardian into donating it. When that fails, he resorts to theft. Thus begins a tug-of-war between powers infernal and celestial, between a magician who would use the Sacred as an instrument of his own will, and an Archdeacon who seeks to protect and preserve what is sacramental and holy. Along the way, Williams reveals the tug-of-war within us all-the interplay of desire and Desire, the polarity of possession and sacrifice.and the siginifant gray areas in between. War in Heaven is the first novel Williams published, and also the most comic. It is everything you've come to expect from a Williams novel-suspense, supernatural danger, and a mysticism so real, good, and terrible that nothing can stand against it.…
