This is the second book by Wm Paul Young, author of "The Shack."

Like "The Shack", "Cross Roads" could best be described as an allegory, or extended parable, about the grace of God.

The protagonist, Anthony Spencer, is a thoroughly nasty piece of work, using and abusing people for his own ends. He finds himself undergoing a journey which transforms his thinking and attitudes, bringing redemption to him and to his former family.

"Cross Roads" raises questions about the problems of evil in the world. It doesn't give any simple answers, but acknowledges that God is present even in the midst of suffering.

The story contains lots of humour amongst the serious aspects. Some Christians don't get story. Fiction is not systematic theology and "Cross Roads" is not intended to be a serious exposition of The Trinity or of salvation. It represents rather than explaining.
