Do right, fear nothing.

Sam Hopkins is a good kid who has fallen in with the wrong crowd. Hanging around with car thieves and thugs, Sam knows it's only a matter of time before he makes one bad decision too many and gets into real trouble.

But one day, Sam sees these friends harassing an eccentric schoolmate named Jennifer. Finding the courage to face the bullies down, Sam loses a bad set of friends and acquires a very strange new one.

Jennifer is not just eccentric. To Sam, she seems downright crazy. She has terrifying hallucinations involving demons, the devil, and death. And here's the really crazy part: Sam is beginning to suspect that these visions may actually be propheciesâ??prophecies of something terrible that's going to happen very soon. Unless he can stop it.

With no one to believe him, with no one to help him, Sam is all alone in a race against time. Finding the truth before disaster strikes is going to be both crazy and very, very dangerous.

      Edge of Eternity af Randy Alcorn (MortimerFolchart)
      MortimerFolchart: "Imagine being pulled in the hereafter. While you're still alive." Nick Seagrave is a big-name executive at a high-end company, who looks good on the outside. To all outward appearances, he's living the high life. But deep down inside, he is spiraling downward, falling apart. Separated from loved ones by the choices he's made, Nick finds himself in utter despair. It is at that moment that he is pulled into another world, a place that will force him to see the consequences of his life, (and thus himself), for what they really are. He is in the ultimate Purgatory, where he can experience both heaven and hell with all his five senses, and which leads him on the ultimate journey of discovery. Pushed and pulled between the various sources of evil, and the One Source of all goodness, Nick is forced to confront the One he's been running from is whole life. Passing along the median between the two realms, Nick must make a choice: a choice that will bring him to the very brink of the Edge Of Eternity.… (mere)

    Sam Hopkins, a PK (preacher's kid) and self-professed good boy, becomes entangled with three hoodlums and learns the bittersweet appeal of occasionally doing something wild. He also befriends (and, ultimately, the protectorate of) Jennifer. Jennifer has demonic visions... is she schizophrenic or is evil really afoot? Action and plot twist make this tale a page-turner.

    Life is all about perceptions. There is a fine line between what one might consider prophetic and what one might consider crazy. Which one of those categories does Jennifer fall into? Maybe the answer is both.

    We find a character who is completely batty, in the eyes of everyone around her. But somehow, Sam was able to see past that. He was able to put the fractured pieces together and find the truth.

    This book skirts around some issues that face us all. When is it okay to not do the right thing? How do you know what the right thing is to do? How do you know for sure that what is happening is a message from Higher Up that we are supposed to follow, or learn from, or find solace and direction in?

    Do Right, Fear Nothing. That is the message that this book conveys. Do the right thing, no matter what the consequences might be, and the rest will be taken care of.

    I could relate on a very personal level to this story because I have had moments where I felt like the universe was pulling me in a direction that made no sense, and it sometimes takes a long time to get the pieces to click into place, and sometimes no one else seems to understand.

    Overall, this story is one of hope and guidance, urging the reader to understand that just because something is difficult, does not make it the wrong thing to do. In fact, usually what is right is the hardest path to choose.

    I thoroughly enjoyed reading this story and hope to read more of this author's work in the future. Anyone who has struggled with doing what is right really should read this one.

    I received a copy of this book via Booksneeze in exchange for a fair and honest review. ( )

    This book is one you will not want to put down. It's drama is both fast-paced and slow and back again, from beginning to end. Just when you think you have it all figured out, Klavan goes and changes that. It will keep you guessing until the bitter end. Five stars! ( )
