Locked Door Shuttered Windows

by J. Stafford Wright

What is inside the fascinating house with the locked door and the shuttered windows? Satan wants an experiment. God allows it. John is caught up in the plan as Satan’s human representative. The experiment? To demonstrate that there can be peace in the world if God allows Satan to run things in his own way. A group of people gather together in an idyllic village run by Satan, with no reference to God, and no belief in him.
J Stafford Wright has written this startling and gripping account of what happens when God stands back and Satan steps forward. All seems to go well for the people who volunteer to take part. And no Christians allowed!
John Longstone lost his faith when teaching at a theological college. Lost it for good -- or so he thinks. And then he meets Kathleen who never had a faith. As the holes start to appear in Satan’s scheme for peace, they wonder if they should help or hinder the plans which seem to have so many benefits for humanity.

This book, to say the least, was a very interesting read. It makes one think about their life, and look deep inside to cement the belief you have in God. If I didn't believe, before reading this book, I do believe it would make me a believer - or at the very least a true seeker. I know I will read this again at a later date, and I plan on sharing it with some friends.

interesting approach, suffers from the Milton effect (having a hard time making the good guys as interesting as the bad guys -- or in this case, the same people as interesting when good as when bad). Has some similarity to "The Great Divorce". Did a good job of illustrating realistic development, and good job of setting scene and character.
