Waking Lazarus
by T.L. Hines
Reviewed by Jake Chism


T.L. Hines has crafted a stunning debut novel that is not to be missed. Jude Allman has died three times, only to miraculously rise from the dead each time. Doctors have no explanation for Jude’s unique ability and he is reluctantly thrust into the spotlight for the public eye. Jude retreats to Red Lodge, Montana and changes his name and identity, hoping for a fresh start and escape from celebrity status. As Jude settles into his new life, he suddenly finds himself in the middle of trouble once again. Someone is kidnapping children, and whether Jude likes it or not he is the only who can stop it.

T.L. Hines has done what so many authors have failed to: He makes you forget you are actually reading a novel. Waking Lazarus is much more than a book. It is an experience that grabs hold of the reader and doesn’t let go. The plot is superb and perfectly executed. The characters are engrossing and human, and it is fascinating to observe the growth and transformation each of the main characters undergoes.

Hines doesn’t throw spiritual themes in our face, but hope, faith, redemption, and love are cleverly woven throughout the story in a powerful and effective way. This is one of the best novels I’ve read this year, and I highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys quality faith-based fiction full of mystery and suspense.
