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). The New York Journal of Books
compared his most recent novel to Hermann
Hesse's Siddhartha.
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.
The Opposite of Art is Athol's latest novel,
an epic story spanning the globe to explore
pride, passion, and murder as a spiritual
pursuit.
"Athol Dickson is, in my opinion, simply one
of the best modern-day writers and
storytellers." -- Armchair Interviews

| A great artist is cast into the icy Harlem River by a hit-and-run driver. His heart stops. He sees something that defies description. Presumed dead by all who knew him and obsessed with desire to paint the inexpressible, he embarks on a pilgrimage to seek help from holy men around the globe. After a quarter of a century, when the world begins to whisper that he may be alive, two people come looking for the artist: the daughter he never knew existed, and the murderer who hit him on the bridge all those years ago.
