#1 Edward and the Bricklayer
One More Life to Live
Steven Decker Author’s Of the twelve novels I’ve written, this is my personal favorite.Though the title may suggest a traditional time-travel adventure, One More Life to Live is something a story about redemption, love, and finding answers to life’s most enduring questions.Edward is granted the chance to live again—not in the future or the past, but in the same era, reborn into a different body, in a different country, in completely different circumstances.What unfolds is a quietly profound transformation—told in a way that readers have called “beautifully written,” “spiritually moving,” and “unforgettable.”If you’ve ever wondered what you’d do with a second chance—not a second shot at glory, but at love and grace—this story is for you.SD
The Book Edward Stubbins is an orphan in post-war England. Shipped to Australia at age ten, he’s offered hope—then abandoned—again and again. A kind nun, a wealthy patron, a girl who promises forever—each walks away when he needs them the most.By the time he’s grown, he’s sealed off his heart for good. When the end finally comes, it is quiet and bitter. No goodbyes. No peace.But the emptiness Edward expected in death never comes. Instead, a luminous stranger offers him the chance to live again.At first, Edwards new life seems like a cruel twist of fate—a life so diminished it feels like a cruel joke. Yet as it unfolds, something begins to a flicker of hope, a glimpse of love, and the sense that someone—somewhere—is still on his side.One More Life to Live is a deeply emotional journey through loss, longing, and the quiet power of grace. Because there is always hope, if you only know where to look.
