Who am I?
My name is Christy Snow. I'm seventeen and I'm about to die.
I'm buried in a coffin under tons of concrete. No one knows where I am. My heart sounds like a monster with clobber feet, running straight toward me. I'm lying on my back, soaked with sweat from the hair on my head to the soles of my feet. My hands and feet won't stop shaking.
Some will say that I m not really here. Some will say I'm delusional. Some will say that I don t even exist. But who are they? I'm the one buried in a grave.
My name is Christy Snow. I'm seventeen. I'm about to die.
So who are you?
In a return to the kind of storytelling that made Black, Showdown and Three unforgettable, New York Times bestselling author Ted Dekker drags that question into the light with this modern day parable about how we see ourselves.
Humming with intensity and blindsided twists, Eyes Wide Open is raw adrenaline from the first page to the last pure escapism packed with inescapable truth. Not all is as it seems. Or is it? Strap yourself in for the ride of your life. Literally. (Young Adult)

The thing about cancer is it’s hard to prove somebody gave it to you on purpose—but Chloe Taylor can prove it. In fact, she proves it for a living. She sues oil refineries that would rather save a buck than comply with safety regulations designed to do important things like, you know, keep people alive.
Chloe had a successful career until circumstances forced her to move to the bass-ackwards town of Kettle, Texas (human population: 4,000; gun population: 34,356). Big Oil industry giant PetroPlex employs half of Kettle’s population, and there’s no question the judge in the town’s got oil stains on his hands. It’s no wonder she’s been on a losing streak lately. She suspects she’s been litigating on an uneven playing field, but when her star expert witness turns up dead less than 48 hours before a make-or break hearing, she knows.
What she doesn’t know is the key piece of information that got her expert killed. It turns out PetroPlex is harboring a shocking secret—one that has the potential to skyrocket gasoline prices, spark an energy market meltdown, and trigger riots, chaos, death, and destruction on a global scale. Chloe must discover the secret and expose the villains before she is permanently silenced, all while juggling a troublesome ex-fiancé and a tantalizing new flame along the way.

Sometimes the truth is anything but honest.
Sometimes the stories everyone knows by heart are lies.
Sometimes lies are all we have left.
Two thousand years ago, thirty silver Tyrian shekels were paid to secure the most infamous betrayal of all time. Melted down by the grandsons of Judas Iscariot, in the dark heart of the Sicarii fortress, Masada, the silver was re-forged as a dagger. When the Sicarii zealots committed mass suicide in AD73 the dagger of Iscariot and the truth of his sacrifice were lost. Until now.
A religious cult calling itself the Disciples of Judas has risen in the Middle East. Its influence is pernicious, its reach long. In thirteen cities across Europe thirteen people martyr themselves in the name of Judas, promising forty days and forty nights of terror. They twist the words of ancient prophecies to drive home the fear. Everything you believe in will be proved wrong. Everything you hold true will fail.
Day by day the West wakes to increasingly harrowing acts of terror. As fear cripples the capitals of Europe, who will be the next to fall? London? Rome? Berlin?
In a race against time - and prophecy - believing the terrorists intend to assassinate the Pope as part of their plan to bring down the Catholic Church, Sir Charles Wyndham's team of combat specialists, codename Ogmios, tracks a labyrinthine course through truth, shades of truth and outright lies that takes them from the backstreets of London to the shadow of Checkpoint Charlie in Berlin and all the way into the heart of the Holy See itself.
Forty days and forty nights of fear. And today is day one.

Senior English teacher Sam Barlow wants his students to be able to understand a little literature and write a coherent essay. So far in six years of teaching he has fallen short of these goals. He admits to himself that he doesn’t want to save the world; he would be happy if only his students could read and write better.
It’s the beginning of another school year, and little does Sam know that he is going to be involved in trying to save the world. His journey begins when an out-of-state student arrived in his class, who is more resistant to learning than most. Sam takes a liking to Lisa Fletcher and spends time with her trying to unlock her autistic demeanor.
He discovers that Lisa’s father, a research scientist, has been murdered, and Lisa feels that his own colleagues have had a hand in the killing. Lisa had been living near Las Vegas where her dad was employed at a shadowy government facility nearby called Area 51.
Through Sam’s tutelage and personal attention, Lisa does improve during the school year. However, just as she is about to graduate, her mother is also murdered, not far from the school itself. Meanwhile Sam had hooked up with a fellow teacher, Stephanie Morris, and after the mother’s killing they decide to take Lisa in to live with them. Lisa now wants to become an English teacher like Sam, and she is set to begin college in the fall.
Sam feels this is the first student he has truly helped, and so he takes his attention to her a step further. It is summer vacation, and Sam decides to visit Area 51 to see what he can find out about Richard Fletcher’s murder. To get better access to information, he takes a part-time job there. He finds Area 51 to be enshrouded in secrecy, but what he eventually comes to learn for sure is that large-scale war weapons are being produced and tested there.
Sam returns to Philadelphia, and Lisa begins her college studies, but she is kidnapped right off the street on her way back from one of her first classes. This event starts Sam and Stephanie on an odyssey they were never prepared for. They come in contact with a lethal terrorist group which Sam calls, The Masters of Disasters because that is exactly their goal—they want to create world chaos for their own ends.
Sam is shocked to find out that of the three people who run this vicious group two of them were home-grown right here in the United States. He faces these two head-on, a General and an Admiral, but then he must deal with the deadliest terrorist of them all, a female secretary for a Pennsylvania Senator. She is tiny but formidable.
This group has gotten hold of a neutron bomb, possibly with a mailing destination to Iran. Sam tries to foil that plot, but finds out rather than being a super-agent-spy, he is only an English teacher. Despite having only grammatical skills in his favor, he still pursues this group to London, Paris, and Beijing to try to stop their assassination plots.
Things then get way out of control when Stephanie falls into the hands of this terrorist group. Now for Sam the desire to stop the Masters of Disasters had become personal. He has to eventually face the dilemma of sacrificing the person he loves so he can shut down this terrorist operation.
In a thrilling climax it is Stephanie who makes the decision for Sam and accomplishes her own brand of heroics.
Teaching has never been so exciting.
