No one was more surprised than bestselling crime novelist and Edgar Award-winner Andrew Klavan when, at the age of fifty, he found himself about to be baptized. Born into a secular Jewish family outside of New York City, he grew into an alienated young writer whose disconnection and rage devolved into depression and suicidal breakdown. Searching for truth in the aftermath, he started to pray, almost experimentally, and the result was a relationship with the Messiah he’d been taught most of his life to reject.
