Athol Dickson’s fiction has been favorably
compared to the work of Flannery O’Connor
(The New York Times), Octavia Butler
(Publisher’s Weekly), and Daphne du
Maurier (Cindy Crosby, Christianity Today
fiction critic).
Notable works include They Shall See God,
and Winter Haven, both Christy Award
finalists. River Rising was an Audie Award
winner, a Christianity Today Best Novel of
2006 finalist, and one of the Booklist Top
Ten Christian Novels of 2006. Both River
Rising and The Cure won Christy Awards
for best suspense novel of the year.
Athol's latest novel, Lost Mission, also won
a Christy Award, making it his fifth novel in a
row to be a finalist for that award, and his
third Christy Award winner.
In a rare departure from fiction, Athol wrote a
highly personal bestselling account of his
five years of intense Torah study at a Jewish
temple, The Gospel according to Moses.
Currently Athol is at work on a story entitled
The Opposite of Art, about pride, passion,
and murder as a spiritual pursuit. It will be
offered for your reading pleasure in 2011.
"Athol Dickson is, in my opinion, simply
one of the best modern-day writers and
storytellers."
