I Hope I Was Wrong About Eternal Damnation
Biographies & Memoirs
Our take
In the 1990s, Tim Mathis immersed himself in a whirlwind of Christian ska concerts, purity pledges, and mega-churches. Leadership in this evangelical world gave him purpose—until cracks in his faith appeared. As doubt crept in, he faced the painful truth: his belief system was collapsing.

Choose your retailer
About the book
In the 1990s, evangelical culture thrived on Christian ska concerts, purity pledges, and mega-church worship spectacles. For Tim Mathis, it wasn’t just a cultural moment—it was his entire life. A young leader in his church, he built his identity, career, and closest relationships within a community of missionaries, priests, and evangelists.
But beneath the surface of unwavering faith, questions began to grow. As Tim climbed higher in his spiritual calling, cracks appeared in the foundation of his belief system. Could a life built on religious certainty withstand the creeping realization that faith and reality might not align?
With honesty and wit, Mathis unravels his personal journey through disillusionment, searching for meaning beyond the confines of evangelicalism—and questioning if faith itself could survive the truth.

About the book
AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
“Pitch-perfect... Dean tells this story with such nuance and humanity, you’re desperate to step into its pages." —The New York Times
“Heart-stopping psychological drama… A modern-day classic." —Jeffery Deaver, New York Times bestselling author
“A gripping story about family dynamics and the nature of human psychology.” —Good Housekeeping
She thought she had escaped her past. But there are some things you can’t outrun.
Lex Gracie doesn't want to think about her family. She doesn't want to think about growing up in her parents' House of Horrors. And she doesn't want to think about her identity as Girl A: the girl who escaped, the eldest sister who freed her older brother and four younger siblings. It's been easy enough to avoid her parents--her father never made it out of the House of Horrors he created, and her mother spent the rest of her life behind bars. But when her mother dies in prison and leaves Lex and her siblings the family home, she can't run from her past any longer. Together with her sister, Evie, Lex intends to turn the home into a force for good. But first she must come to terms with her siblings--and with the childhood they shared.
What begins as a propulsive tale of escape and survival becomes a gripping psychological family story about the shifting alliances and betrayals of sibling relationships--about the secrets our siblings keep, from themselves and each other. Who have each of these siblings become? How do their memories defy or galvanize Lex's own? As Lex pins each sibling down to agree to her family's final act, she discovers how potent the spell of their shared family mythology is, and who among them remains in its thrall and who has truly broken free.
For readers of Room and Sharp Objects, an absorbing and psychologically immersive novel about a young girl who escapes captivity–but not the secrets that shadow the rest of her life.
