David Galloway can't die.
How many lifetimes can God expect one man to live? Over a century old, David Galloway isolates himself from the mortal humans who die or desert him by making a quiet life as a used bookstore owner in Northern Michigan. But then he spots a news article about a man who, like him, should be dead.
Daredevil celebrity Zachary Wilson walked away unscathed from what should have been a deadly fall. David tracks the man down, needing answers. Soon David discovers a close-knit group of individuals as old as he is who offer the sort of kinship and community he hasn't experienced for decades—but at what cost?
David finds himself keeping secrets other than his own. . .protecting more than himself alone. He'll have to decide what's worth the most to him—security or community. When crimes come to light that are older than any mortal, he fears the pressure is more than he can stand. What does God require of him, and is David strong enough to see it through?

Living more than three lifetimes, David Galloway believes he's seen it all. Then a news story about a daredevil stunt gone wrong catches his eye. Through the centuries, David has always believed himself to be alone, the only person who cannot die in a world of mortals. But the daredevil Zachary Wilson miraculously survived without a scratch. Seeking answers, David tracks him down and discovers that the young man knows David from long ago. In turn, Zachary connects him to a community of others like him. It turns out they are "longevites" who received an experimental serum from a 19th-century doctor. VERDICT Stevens's (Far and Near) Christian fantasy raises fascinating questions about immortality and its spiritual price. A terrific pick for book groups seeking weighty discussion topics.
