An acclaimed psychologist must interpret a mysterious client’s dreams with the help of an ancient manuscript in this “inventive and incisive” (Jerry B. Jenkins, New York Times bestselling author of the Left Behind series) page-turner. For Dr. Elena Burroughs, life is divided into two chapters—before and after the death of her husband. Today marks the point that her time spent being a wife is equal to her time as a widow. Even her success as a psychologist and her worldwide acclaim for a book on the interpretation of dreams is dimmed by an unspoken If only . Then a new patient arrives, one so private only her first name is given. Impeccably dressed and escorted by two bodyguards, Sandra recounts a frightening series of recurrent nightmares. Elena agrees to consider her case more carefully, convinced that something ominous may be at work here. Elena's interpretation of her dreams confirms that, indeed, the new patient and her family confront a powerful global network of dangerous forces. As the story unfolds, they face a key question of the Christian life: How do you understand and fulfill the will of God? "Book of Dreams is a fascinating read. A totally new concept, which makes it a rare achievement. The story really makes you think. The theme is both very challenging and mesmerizing. A first-rate effort." —Hy Smith, executive vice president (ret.), United International Pictures -- Hy Smith, executive vice president (ret.), United International Pictures "Book of Dreams is an exceptional story. The concept itself is remarkably fresh, with a genuinely unique design. There are very few inspirational-style concepts that have the potential to cross over and become major mainstream hits. In my opinion, Book of Dreams is at the top of this list. Exciting, relevant, and accessible. A remarkable story, one that will linger long after the book is put down." —Norman Stone, producer / director, Shadowlands -- Norman Stone, producer / director, Shadowlands "Inventive and incisive, Bunn's fiction never disappoints.

Book of Dreams 1 Teddy Wainwright was a very happy man. Not many people had the chance to reinvent themselves at the ripe old age of sixty-three. He finished typing his resignation, hit the Send button, and gave a satisfied sigh. Shirley would be so proud of him. His young aide set the photographs of Teddy’s wife and daughters into the last crate. “That’s the lot, sir.” “Thank you again for your help.” Teddy slipped his aide a letter. He had been up until almost dawn, working and reworking the words. There was so much to pack into a few paragraphs. The envelope bore his wife’s name. Nothing more. “Here, put this on top.” “No problem, sir.” His aide set the envelope in the box and fitted on the lid. “I’d just like to say again how sorry I am you’re going.” “That makes two of us.” His secretary of nineteen years walked through his open door and waved the multiple copies of his formal resignation. “This is so hot it must be radioactive.” Teddy Wainwright signed each letter in turn. “This is also a long time coming.” “Your daughter’s on the phone.” “Put her through.” He reached over his desk and shook his aide’s hand. “I wish you every success in your new position.” “I could come with you, sir. Matter of fact, I’d like to.” “You’re better off here.” Teddy had rewarded the young man’s loyalty by promoting him to a junior vice presidency. “The legislation required to formally start the financial oversight commission is months off. Until then, I’ll be cooling my heels in Washington. Which is why I haven’t even invited my secretary to join me. Yet.” “I’m a patient guy. You should know that by now.” “If or when things get going, I’ll give you a call, see if you’re still interested.” Teddy lifted the receiver, waved his former aide through the door, and said to his elder child, “Perfect timing.” “You really did it?” “The letters are winging their wa
