All the citizens of heaven were excited about the upcoming ceremony. One of their own members, Lucifer, was going to be anointed as chief over them all. Why wouldn’t he be chosen? All others agreed. After all, as a messenger stated, Lucifer was the most glorious being in all of creation—except, of course, for God. But when God began to speak, everything changed. In a creative study that reinterprets the great battle between God and Lucifer and imagines the actions of factions supporting each and the resulting fallout in the heavenly kingdom, Chris Pagano offers his unique perspective while attempting to answer common questions about the devil. Who created him? Why is there a constant struggle in our lives between good and evil? And is God actively involved in the world’s affairs and in our lives? Throughout his examination, Pagano helps us understand how to live with these issues, to find peace within a deeper relationship with God, and to ponder the lasting consequences of these storied events. So Shall It Forever Be shares one man’s perspective on the beginning when good and evil first met while encouraging believers to return to the Bible to search for the hidden truths.

Seventeen-year-old Jacob is well aware of the commandment Honor thy father and mother. But his mother has been dead for a year, and in order to protect his sister and himself, Jacob plans to kill his father. In Wharton, Texas, a rural and dilapidated town where cotton once made kings out of paupers, Jacobs mental health is rapidly deteriorating. He has to cope with the death of his mother, the responsibility of raising a younger sibling, and a deranged father who breeds ferocious fighting pit bulls and deals drugs, all from the once-functioning and prosperous family farm. Jacob struggles to preserve his sisters nave worldview while searching for meaning and hope in the dismal circumstances that surround him. When intense supernatural visions begin to cripple Jacobs ability to live productively, desperation consumes him. Killing his father seems to be the only salvation from his rapidly crumbling world. A literary sketch of a failed moral calculus and madness at its inception, So Shall We Pass explores the ways in which an adolescent such as Jacob responds to the often overwhelming energies of life.
