Dismas
The Death of Levi
Introducing my first Christian novel, The Death of Levi, where I explore the profound journey of the man traditionally known as Dismas, or the Penitent Thief. This narrative delves into the spiritual experiences of a common thief who undergoes a life-altering encounter during his final moments. I invite you to join me on a journey that reveals the transformative power of faith and the reality of heaven and hell.
The Death of Levi
In The Death of Levi, we follow a lowly thief faced with an agonising crucifixion. However, in his last moments, he encounters a divine figure that alters his fate from eternal damnation to eternal glory. Accompanied by Raphael, one of the archangels, Levi embarks on a magnificent tour of heaven, witnessing breathtaking landscapes and the celestial order from above.
As Levi learns about the fall of a third of the angels, he is taken back in time to meet the first man and woman created by God. Through vivid imagery, he observes significant biblical events, such as Abraham's life in Ur and Moses leading his people from Egypt. These insights are not mere tales; they become a visual feast that immerses Levi—and the reader—in the spiritual significance of these stories.
Ultimately, Levi's journey leads him to meet Jesus (Yahsua) again in heaven, who guides him through the realms of hell and back to earth. This is a story about understanding who Jesus truly is, as Levi grapples with the weight of his choices and the desire to remain in heaven forever.

The Death of Levi has already garnered heartfelt feedback from readers:
"This book really made me look at the original bible stories in a new light. It was provocative and intriguing and I loved the descriptions of heaven and hell."
Alfie Booth
“I really enjoyed the book and considering I've never really read anything like this before, I thought it was brilliant. The subtle whisperings of humbling truths are ever present, thought provoking and inspiring. Beautifully descriptive and simplicity at its best. This book is easy to read, grabbing and feels like a constant journey of self-betterment through the understanding of that of which has come before. The book encourages you to get closer to God in an unintrusive fashion. This book felt like a rocket taking off from the very start and was a constant journey to the very end. It feels very fast paced and keeps you hooked to the very end. Thoroughly enjoyable and a book I'd absolutely recommend.”
Gary Hanks
"After reading this I wish I could visit the author's version of heaven every day! I just loved the musical houses and the different colours and patterns on the angel wings were so beautiful."
