Death. It's the one experience everyone will share...except, perhaps, for 12-year-old Jak Hamelton. Gramma Josie died in his arms, and he would do anything to bring her back. He finds an old book of hers and is whirled to a particular garden paradise where a treacherous interaction between Man, Woman and a snake usher death and evil into the world. When a mysterious benefactor named El offers Jak the opportunity to bring the dead back to life and live forever, it sounds like an impossible dream. But when Jak’s grandfather unexpectedly begins aging backwards, it appears the dream just might be reality. However, the weapon Jak’s been given to defeat death and evil doesn’t even work yet, and the serpent Beelz isn’t willing to give up the Earth without a fight. Besides that, there’s the poison... Is it really true that the dead can live forever? What will it take to restore paradise? Readers of all ages "can't put the book down!" Riveting adventure through the #1 best seller of all time - the Bible.

Somebody stole The Impossible Son. Jak had the card in his hands—a picture of a boy with tied wrists and a knife at his throat—but now it’s gone and, without it, Gramma Josie will never come back to life and neither will anybody else. He has four Thread cards left and when he meets a tribal chief named Abram, Jak is pretty sure he’s found the man on the “Father of Many” card. Yahweh has even promised to give Abram as many descendants as the stars in the sky, but Abram’s an old man and his wife can’t have kids. Sounds like it would have been a perfect match between the father who can’t have kids and the son who could never be born, but it’s just too…impossible. A traveling merchant tells Jak the Egyptian priests can bring the dead back to life—exactly what he’s looking for—but mysterious dreams begin invading Jak’s sleep, leaving him exhausted, with no idea what the dreams mean. To make matters worse, Jak finds out Yahweh has demanded a terrible sacrifice from Abram, and he’s not even sure he can trust Yahweh anymore. Where is the Impossible Son? What do the dreams mean? And is Yahweh good or evil? Between the traitor and the thief, the baker and the slave, everyone has their part to play in this second book of the Jak and the Scarlet Thread series.
