Be the Good Lamb

Aaron is dead, but there is no time to mourn as he is quickly reborn in a human-made paradise. In this utopia there is no sickness, no drudgery, and no pain. Here, individuals have perfect freedom. Despite the beauty and exhilaration of his new surroundings, Aaron soon questions what it means to be in paradise but not in heaven. If his conscious mind is stuck in this paradise, does that mean his soul, the true light within, is trapped there as well? Aaron begins to fight to leave paradise, to fight for his soul. He is joined in his quest by an ancestor who has her own reasons for wanting to flee. Aaron is hastily sentenced to purgatory, a place meant to destroy resistance, and where he must face his greatest temptations. Finding a way to escape, Aaron embarks on one final attempt to leave paradise in order to reach heaven. In Be the Good Lamb, Sea Kimbrell tells a gripping and thought-provoking story that explores how far a person will go to follow what he believes to be God's command.
