Beyond Time / Chalfant Eckert Publishing (ePub)

The one thing that seems to be going well for Julius is his promising career in advertising. Declining a colleague's invitation to celebrate, Julius fatefully meets with his brother and sister-in-law instead. At lunch, unbeknownst to them, a violent robbery is about to take place across the street that will have unimaginable, life-changing consequences for all of them.

The aftermath sends Julius spiraling headlong into a world of poverty, drug addiction, and prostitution. His wife, borther, home, and job are all taken away from him and he doesn't see any possible way out of the misery and destitution all around. The pleas of the local priest fall on deaf ears. Consumed by the terrible decisions he has to make, the tragic losses that have befallen him, and wallowing in his lowest ebb, Julius is visted by a demonic presence that tries to convince him that he has no place on Earth, and drags him kicking and screaming into the bowels of hell.

Powerful forces pull Julius in every direction along the way as he encounters some of the most difficult tests he has ever faced. By encountering the seventeen works of the flesh, Julius is not only deep in an unforgiving nightmare, he is also on an incredible journey of self-discovery that could untimately help decide the fate of the entire human race.
