I have been working through a bag of books that I am supposed to pass onto Jamie’s sister, Joy, and I am almost through them all. In fact, now that I have finished The Invasion of Heaven by Michael B. Koep, I only have one more book to go. I was really surprised that Jamie would give me a book like this to read. I do not read sci-fi books and I don’t read suspense/thrillers. But I decided that the person that knows me best, besides my wife, might know something I don’t, I should give it a shot. She was right.
The main character, Loche Newith, a psychologist, has had a quiet and controlled life until now and that is how he likes it but he can’t seem to make things line up anymore. Between the apparent suicide of one client and the constant appearance in his life of another client, the finding of a long lost brother and art that seems to change people’s lives forever, either in good or bad ways, this book has every kind of element that might keep you turning pages until you run out.
I am glad I gave this book a chance. I really enjoyed it.
I got this book from my sister, Jamie Holloway. You can get your own copy of The Invasion of The Invasion of Heaven by Michael B. Koep on Amazon.
Read My Review on GoodReads:
The Invasion of Heaven by Michael B. Koep
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
As someone that does not read science fiction or thrillers I was surprised that I was caught by this book. Loche Newith, the main character, was complex and perfect for carrying this story. The fact that he was a psychologist is what kept me turning pages in the beginning but as the story matured, his stead-fastness is what endured and then the plot turned. Wow!

My name is Summer. That is how you can call me. I hope that I am a blessing to you. I am not perfect. I will fall again. But I am forgiven. For anyone reading this that isn’t a Christian, unapologetically, I am a Christian, but I believe there is room for lots of beliefs and religions in the world. It is not my intent to offend people with different beliefs than I have and I would be open to open-minded conversations with no goals of changing anyone’s mind, but sharing information. If you are interested in becoming a Christian…Do you know Jesus? Do want the Holy Spirit to fill you and give you understanding and salvation? Ask Him. Want someone to pray with you? Contact me.
If you would like to know Jesus as your friend, but want to make this amazing commitment by yourself please pray something like this: Thank you Jesus that You are the Son of God, the God that created heaven and earth. Thank you Jesus that You came to earth in the form of a man so that You would be able to empathize with my humanity. Thank You that You did this in order to fulfill the promises You made at the foundation of the world. I realize that I am a sinner and do things that hurt myself and keep myself away from you. Thank You that You died for my sins so that You could defeat death and bring me into Your life. Please forgive me. I ask You to be Lord of my life. I ask you to heal my hurts and show me what my new life, empowered by You looks like. Thank You for Your mercy.
