RITUAL, counselor Joshua Page’s first novel, is a real page turner. As much as we don’t want to believe that evil like this exists, it’s a reality we must all soon face. Its authenticity is beyond reproach. Joshua based it on his many years as a therapist working with the toughest cases imaginable. It is indeed, stranger than fiction and far more frightening. During research, courageous therapists, victims, and even perpetrator’s stories authenticated the vile methods they use but they also offer hope for healing. There’s no pain so great that God can’t heal it, or evil so powerful it can hide forever.
