Dinner at God's House: A Novel

Erik Bernstein wasn't afraid of death. He was afraid of life. Winner of 12 literary awards and honors, including a Living Now Book Awards Gold Medal, Readers' Favorite Silver Medal, and an IPPY Bronze Medal Praised by Lara Love Hardin, 6x New York Times bestselling author. For readers of The Five People You Meet in Heaven and The Midnight Library. Erik spent his life hiding behind jokes, sarcasm, and nicknames. He was funny enough that nobody noticed he was drowning. He traded his creative dreams for a "real" career, kept everyone at arm's length, and carried the quiet certainty that he never belonged anywhere. Now he's sitting in the back corner of a synagogue, watching his own funeral. Then an invitation arrives. Dinner. At God's house. Erik isn't even sure he believes in God. But with Blondie, his beloved childhood dog, at his side, he sets out on a journey through the places and people that shaped him: a long-lost best friend, a backyard Wiffle ball game, an aspen forest, a bar full of familiar faces raising their glasses. Each stop brings him closer to the truths he's spent a lifetime running from. And when he finally sits down with God, one question makes things very uncomfortable. What kind of life is possible when you finally learn to forgive, trust, and love yourself? This isn't a book about religion. It's a book about taking off the mask, and about the courage it takes to choose life. Inspired by the author's own journey through depression and back, Dinner at God's House is heartbreaking, funny, and ultimately hopeful. Pull up a chair. You're invited. Also available on audio, narrated by the author.
