The Battle for Heaven and Earth: A Story of Scripture Novel

In the beginning--before Earth, before humanity, before sin--there was Heaven. And it was perfect. From the creative minds of bestselling authors Mark M. Yarbrough and Jerry B. Jenkins, In the Beginning is a sweeping biblical epic that takes readers back to the very, very beginning. In the beginning--before Earth, before humanity, before sin--there was Heaven. And it was perfect. This is the story of creation as you've never imagined it. Once united in worship and purpose, the angelic realm is shaken when Lucifer--the most beautiful and exalted of all--questions the authority of God Himself. What begins as subtle pride soon ignites into open rebellion. As loyalties fracture and one-third of Heaven's hosts defect, Michael the Archangel is thrust into a role he never imagined: commander of God's army in a war that was never supposed to erupt. Friendship turns to enmity. Worship becomes warfare. And Heaven itself becomes a battlefield. From the first spark of dissonance to the thunder of celestial combat, this sweeping epic explores the origin of evil and the agonizing cost of free will. With vivid imagination rooted in deep biblical truth, witness darkness rising against the very throne of God . . . and the divine plan that refuses to be undone, one that stretches from the creation of a new world to a garden paradise, and a fall that echoes through all of human history. This is not just the story of a rebellion. It is the story of why it mattered. And why it still does.
