In the beginning--before Earth, before humanity, before sin--there was Heaven. And it was perfect.

This is the story of creation as you've never imagined it.

Once united in worship and purpose, the angelic realm is shaken when Lucifer--the most beautiful and exalted of all--questions the authority of God Himself. What begins as subtle pride soon ignites into open rebellion.

As loyalties fracture and one-third of Heaven's hosts defect, Michael the Archangel is thrust into a role he never imagined: commander of God's army in a war that was never supposed to erupt. Friendship turns to enmity. Worship becomes warfare. And Heaven itself becomes a battlefield.

From the first spark of dissonance to the thunder of celestial combat, this sweeping epic explores the origin of evil and the agonizing cost of free will. With vivid imagination rooted in deep biblical truth, witness darkness rising against the very throne of God . . . and the divine plan that refuses to be undone, one that stretches from the creation of a new world to a garden paradise, and a fall that echoes through all of human history.

This is not just the story of a rebellion.

It is the story of why it mattered.

And why it still does.

Critic reviews

'As a friend and former classmate, I have long admired Mark Yarbrough's dedication to ministry and his commitment to teaching God's Word. In THE BATTLE FOR HEAVEN AND EARTH, Mark and Jerry Jenkins have crafted a compelling narrative that does more than tell a story. It invites readers to deeply engage with the beauty and truth of Scripture. I highly recommend this book for anyone looking to strengthen their walk with the Lord.'
'In THE BATTLE FOR HEAVEN AND EARTH, Mark Yarbrough and Jerry Jenkins bring the both the pre-creation and the creation stories to life. The reader is compelled into the Sovereign's reality. Your heart swells. Your mind expands. Your faith grows. As they remind us, the Lord is well aware--and well prepared--to redeem His creation. This is brilliant prose wrapped in the eternal truth of Scripture, for a culture that desperately needs reminding who this Creator God is--and of His redeeming reach toward all mankind.'
'In THE BATTLE FOR HEAVEN AND EARTH, Mark Yarbrough and Jerry Jenkins imagine what the spiritual battle raging in the heavenly places looks like. Grounding their vivid storytelling in Scripture while giving full rein to holy imagination, the result is a gripping glimpse into the cosmic conflict between Lucifer's minions and the loyal angels of heaven. Thrilling reading that does more than entertain--it is both thought-provoking and engaging--the story takes us through creation and the fall of man. It stirs the spirit and points us back to the truths of the Bible.'
'In the literary genre of cosmic historical fiction that follows in the tradition of C. S. Lewis's THE SCREWTAPE LETTERS, Yarbrough and Jenkins have brought to us an imaginative story that thickens our own curiosity about the ethereal elements of eternity. In the grand narrative of Scripture, the Bible has places where humanity's story arc intersects with the more mysterious sweep of angelic history, and Yarbrough and Jenkins have suggested a fanciful angelic storyline to fill in some of the gaps at the very beginning of those intersections. Those familiar with Scripture will recognize many strands of biblical phrases that these authors have woven into their engaging plot about THE BATTLE FOR HEAVEN AND EARTH--a battle that has been unfolding since before creation. Their inventive tale about spiritual beings is replete with reminders that apply equally to terrestrial life, getting readers to recall scriptural wisdom for our own battles on this side of eternity. This is an enjoyable--and sometimes sobering and even convicting--read.'
'Mark and Jerry pull back the curtain on eternity and show the Grand Drama behind the scenes of creation. When I heard about the book, I wondered how they would achieve this feat. Now, I'm simply grateful they did.'
