"A modern spin on C.S. Lewis' The Screwtape Letters" Literary Classics Gold Medal Winner A high school graduate ready to shine for God at college. Emotionally-torn parents who hope their son transitions well. A campus so beautiful, no one detects an underlying spiritual battle. It's Fall. And Davis Chandler, a well-liked former lacrosse player, can't wait to make his mark on campus. Yet a war rages in heaven and on earth. And ever-so subtly on University campus. Davis - severed from the comforts of home and his church community - begins to drift from God. Can the angels assigned to Davis get there in time? And will Davis be spiritually in-tuned enough to fight back and let God restore what's already been lost? "Maybe the most dangerous place today for Christian faith is the college campus. Insightfully, Nicholas Cappas develops his story right there in the middle of it all. In the spirit of Lewis's The Screwtape Letters we find Davis Lewis Chandler, a college freshman. We do well to realize that we are not fighting flesh and blood (Eph 6:12). Thanks, Nicholas, for a very effective reminder." Marlin Detweiler, President and Founder of Award-Winning Veritas Press, Classical Christian Education "Definitely recommend this for any senior high kid about to head to college." Daniel O'Quinn (Big D), Atlanta KLIFE Director "An awesome piece of literature that depicts what it is like to engage in spiritual warfare in college. I could really relate to the main character Davis in his struggles, and I could learn from his examples!" Sam Zoldack, Samford University student "A dynamic, fast paced story with spiritual encouragement in its fabric. Great read. Cappas blew it out of the water." Chris Middleton, Biola University student, former student body president of Wesley Academy "Cappas hit a home run! Reads like a modern Screwtape Letters." Brent Slade, FCA Baseball Director "Inspired by the literary genius of CS Lewis, Cappas skillfully takes The Screwtape Letters and turns it on its head. Captivating to the heart & mind, Heaven Breaks In masterfully affirms God's wisdom and presence victorious over life's challenges." Jana Harmon, Teaching Fellow, CS Lewis Institute of Atlanta "In today's over secularized world the spiritual dynamics of the Christian life have been all but lost. Like The Screwtape Letters did 75 years ago, Heaven Breaks In opens the heart and the mind to the true spiritual battle that we all face." Jason Dees, PhD, Senior Pastor of Christ Covenant, SBC "Intriguing story, fascinating characters. This book's bound for Hollywood." Chris Milhous, Former CEO of Ogilvy Atlanta, Founder of MB Global House "Cappas weaves the truth of Scripture beautifully into the life and story of his protagonist Davis. A powerful aid to help us see our world through a biblical lense." Caroline White, RUF Campus Ministry "Cappas awakens our imagination to the reality of spiritual warfare. Heaven Breaks In reminds us that our battle is not against flesh and blood, and he who is in us is greater than the one who is in the world." Robby Higginbottom, College Minister, Park Cities Presbyterian Church, PCA "Heaven Breaks In pulls the curtain back on the reality of life as a college freshman. As the story unfolds you will be drawn in, find the book hard to put down, and discover spiritual insights that might just change the way you view and live life." Jason Ellerbee, Young Couples Pastor, Briarwood Presbyterian Church, PCA

Heaven Breaks In, by Nicholas Cappas, earns the Literary Classics Seal of Approval
Heaven Breaks In is the story of Davis Chandler, a freshman going away for his first year of college. Davis has always been firmly rooted in his faith. But now that he is in a new environment the secular world and many seemingly innocuous moments threaten to weaken his resolve to remain strong in his faith.

But the spiritual warfare going on in Davis' life is deeper than one might see on the surface. Fighting on the frontlines are a team of angels assigned to help Davis maintain, despite the many obstacles in his path. The Archangel Michael, and Littleton, the angel assigned to intercede on Davis' behalf, engage in a series of letters between each other as they strategize a series of plans to steer Davis in the right direction.

This thought provoking book provides a unique perspective of another dimension in which angels and demons duke it out in a battle to win human souls. Author Nicholas Cappas puts a modern spin on C.S. Lewis' Screwtape Letters offering readers an introspective glimpse into the seductive ways in which secular influences can insidiously whittle away at the foundations of a person's faith.

LITERARY CLASSICS Book Awards & Reviews International Book Awards A deftly crafted and inherently fascinating read from cover to cover, "Heaven Breaks In" showcases author Nicholas Cappas' impressively original and thoroughly entertaining debut novel. With its theme of a biblically based spiritual warfare in the life of a college student, "Heaven Breaks In" will have a special resonance with Christian readers. While very highly recommended for Christian Fiction collections, it should be noted for personal reading lists that "Heaven Breaks In" is also available in a Kindle format.

Something Fresh & Original
Excellent read! Enjoyable for all ages,and is especially important for high school and college students! It gives spiritual and practical insight on life’s most important questions: Who am I? What am I called to do? Who should I marry? Etc. It’s a quick, easy read: only 172 pages. Although it’s a fictional story, the truths it reveals are priceless. It also teaches about how to influence the world without compromising your relationship with Christ: Being in the world, but not of the world; letting your light shine before men. It offers great advice on leadership: being a servant, but not a doormat…for the benefit of others. Creatively written, along with practical biblical wisdom, I expect this book to become popular fast! Thank you Nick for obeying the call of God on your life!

This book was written in an interesting format - a rolling conversation over a period of time. The characters are realistic, and their struggles are true reflections on today’s challenges for young people. It reminds us that God is always present but that He lets us make our own choices using the Free Will gift that He’s bestowed on us all. I recommend this book to all Christians, or those who are considering making Christianity a focus of their lives.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fresh Take on the Spiritual Realm and the Abundant Love of God
Reviewed in the United States on July 9, 2016
Verified Purchase
I planned to start this book and read gradually over time. However, I finished within 24 hours of starting. While it is not a long read, the narrative is easy to read and flows seamlessly. I was surprised at how well Mr. Cappas captured the reality of life on a modern day college campus. I felt like I went back in time thirteen years to my freshman year in a large southern university. I wish I had read a book like this one before taking the "long" road to my destiny in Christ. This book should be placed in the hands of every high school senior.

Mr. Cappas works in sound, biblical truths while captivating the reader to just read "one more page" until he or she discovers that there are no more pages. As a missionary to Latin America where the spiritual realm (heaven and hell) is very prevalent and the miraculous is normal Christianity, I believe the church in the U.S. is asleep to the spiritual war around us. There is a great slumber where many in the body of Christ in the U.S. choose to rationalize or ignore the spiritual realm based on their lack of experience as opposed to relying on the truth set forth in the Bible. I believe this book is a wake up call to the need for our young people to have solid support from mature believers and the church while they encounter an onslaught of attack at a vulnerable stage in life. The book does not focus on being fearful that there is a demon behind every corner, but instead emphasizes the authority we have in Christ and how Jesus loves us so much that he has surrounded us with ministering spirits to protect us. It is clear that the author knows his Bible but has also received revelation from the Holy Spirit about grace and the Father's love. I applaud Mr. Cappas on his work and look forward to the sequel!

5.0 out of 5 stars Better than The Screwtape Letters - a new Christian Classic
Reviewed in the United States on September 11, 2016
Verified Purchase
I enjoyed the Screwtape Letters and when I read that Heaven Breaks In was in that style I was skeptical. After a few pages the skepticism vanished and by the end of the book, which came much too soon, I was hoping I'd find info on a sequel. It's a great read that C.S. Lewis would be honored to be associated with.

The spiritual warfare is real and the author does a terrific job explaining it and showing the results, both positive and negative. I know our Lord was active in its writing and will use this book for His glory in the years ahead.

I loved the book. It got me thinking again about how there are angels watching over me and my loved ones. The spiritual battles are great and we need to be constantly aware of the lies being whispered in our ears and the tripping hazards laid out by our enemy, the devil and his minions.

I enjoyed breaking from heavier reading to dip into this world. The story is classic spiritual warfare fiction format, giving us a peak into the unseen dimensions around us. Plot was relatively predictable, but uplifting nonetheless.

I really wish that I’d had this book before I went to college. I think that many things would have turned out differently. Recognizing and pursuing your God instilled purpose is the difference between abiding and thriving in God.
