In The Encounter, book six of Bill Myers’ Forbidden Doors series, Becka Williams’ friend Krissi begins dabbling with automatic handwriting and is convinced a powerful and benevolent being is channeling a message through her. It’s up to Becka to show her the truth.

There’s no such thing as Vampires… right? That’s what Jake’s good friend Ariana thought. So why did somebody drop a body covered with bites at the hospital where she works? And why is she being followed by creepy dudes? Jake wants answers, and he’s going to get them no matter the cost. He’s also going to learn that, “We do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.” Will Jake Muller take up a sword in this spiritual battle?

Finally equipped for battle, our reluctant hero begins the fight … while learning where the real battlefield lies … who his real enemies are … when to strike with God’s truth or reach out with His grace … and when to quietly pray or boldly take a stand regardless the cost. Now that Will has received the tools of spiritual warfare, he must learn how to use them.

After his death, including a tour of heaven, Will realizes Earth’s great need and agrees to return to help. With Jesus’ instruction and their occasional visits to Old Testament times and prophets, our hero learns through failure and mishaps (always with a touch of Myers’s humor), how to prepare for the battles God has called him to fight.

Just as our hapless hero finally gets used to Jesus’s many surprise visits, the stakes are raised even higher when his ex begs to move into his house with her latest boyfriend. Then, of course, there are the other women in his life—an uber-religious Conservative and a jaded ex-Christian. All this as, barely knowing the Bible himself, he is roped into teaching a Bible study to rival gang members at the local prison. And yet, somehow, amidst the drama, comedy and surprising turn of events, he stumbles into the maturity God has always hoped for him.

With the life of his niece's newborn baby hanging in the balance, our hero continues his off-the-record conversations with Yeshua—sometimes visiting him in Bible times, sometimes amidst the baffling events of his own world. Join Will Thomas as he continues stumbling his way toward holiness and, through no fault of his own, an ever-deepening friendship with God.
