How Heaven Sent Began
Montré Bible, a Dallas, Texas native, published the first Heaven Sent novel in 2005, sparking a series that would captivate readers with its bold fusion of Christian fiction and fantasy. Inspired by C.S. Lewis’s imaginative worlds and his own fascination with the supernatural, Bible crafted a narrative centered on an African-American family entangled in a hidden war with fallen angels. His goal? To create a story that spoke to universal themes of faith and perseverance while embracing the allure of paranormal storytelling.
Bible’s self-published approach allowed him creative freedom, letting him build a vivid world where spiritual battles mirror everyday struggles. His work as a YouTuber and blogger on supernatural phenomena further shaped the series, infusing it with authenticity and intrigue that fans adore.
The Heart of Heaven Sent
The Heaven Sent series kicks off with Heaven Sent, where Andrew Turner, a typical high schooler, grapples with blackouts and visions revealing his half-angel heritage. As he uncovers secrets about his family and battles a demonic force threatening his soul, Andrew’s faith is tested in a fast-paced tale of spiritual warfare. The prequel, Heaven Bound, shifts focus to Andrew’s mother, Andrea Turner, exploring her own journey of self-discovery and the events leading to the first book. Other titles, like Heaven’s Power, continue the saga, though specific details remain scarce due to the series’ niche status.
At its core, Heaven Sent explores themes of faith, resilience, and moral courage. Bible’s vivid prose brings biblical creatures like Nephilim to life, blending them with modern settings to create a unique urban fantasy vibe. The series’ Christian foundation shines through Andrew’s struggles, yet its universal themes of family, identity, and overcoming inner demons resonate with non-Christian readers too. Reviewers praise the well-developed characters, from Andrew’s relatable doubts to Andrea’s fierce determination, and the unpredictable plot twists that keep pages turning.
The setting—a contemporary world shadowed by supernatural forces—grounds the fantastical elements, making Andrew’s journey feel both epic and personal. Bible’s ability to balance action, mystery, and spiritual reflection sets Heaven Sent apart in the Christian fiction genre.
Why Heaven Sent Resonates
Heaven Sent has carved a niche in Christian fantasy, offering a fresh perspective by centering an African-American protagonist in a genre often lacking diversity. Fans on platforms like Goodreads and Amazon laud its fast-paced storytelling and emotional depth, with some calling it a “stunning debut” for its ability to blend faith-driven narratives with universal appeal. Its exploration of spiritual warfare speaks to readers navigating their own challenges, while its fantasy elements attract those drawn to paranormal tales.
Though not a mainstream blockbuster, Heaven Sent’s cult following and Bible’s dedication to self-publishing highlight its lasting impact. By tackling complex themes through a fantastical lens, the series invites readers to reflect on their beliefs and resilience, making it a hidden gem worth discovering.
