Christian Fantasy Based on Biblical Principles
For every child who struggles with doubt, for every kid who has been bullied, for every teen who comes from a broken home, and for every young adult who longs to be understood, there is hope.
Best-selling author Lorilyn Roberts shares once again the power of redemption in this Christian coming-of-age novel. Written in the first person, Seventh Dimension – The Door reads like a firsthand account of a young girl, Shale Snyder, who is treated unfairly by her family, school, and classmates. Fear distorts her sense of self-worth, and she is enveloped in guilt because of a secret from her past.
While on a journey similar to Christian in Pilgrim’s Progress, Shale encounters talking animals and a handsome young man with whom she falls in love.
Her journey is one of self-discovery as she battles personal demons, family conflict, and wicked underlings. Shale comes face-to-face with a personal decision she must make, bound up in the king she meets in first-century Israel.
“I spent two years developing the plot,” says Roberts, “as part of my Master’s in Creative Writing. I love the classics, particularly the works of Charles Dickens, Fyodor Dostoevsky, Emily Brontë, C.S. Lewis, and J.R.R. Tolkien. I hoped to provide an entertaining story that would evoke deep spiritual longing.”
Roberts adds, “I was a troubled child from a broken home on the road to juvenile delinquency – until I met the king.”
Lorilyn Roberts lives in Gainesville, Florida, with her two daughters from Nepal and Vietnam. Manisha’s and Joy’s adoption stories are told in her bestselling memoir, Children of Dreams. Part of her family’s memoir was featured on the Discovery Channel’s Monsters Inside Me.
