| Elijah Campbell is on the verge of losing his writing career, his faith, and his marriage when a recurring childhood nightmare drives him back to his hometown, Bradford's Ferry. There, his encounters with loved ones both past and present shed light on the reason his wife left himâand the meaning of his nightmare. However, beyond the light he begins to glimpse something even more terrifyingâa decision he must make either to continue hiding the secrets of his past or unhide the only thing that can save his marriage: himself. |
| In psychologist Kelly Flanagan's non-fiction works (Loveable, True Companions), he drew from clinical insight to explore the spiritual depths of identity and relationships. Now, in this debut novel, The Unhiding of Elijah Campbell, he weaves a page-turning and plot-twisting tale that brings new life to those insights, along with fresh revelations about personal growth, spiritual transformation, and the dynamics of interpersonal relationships. This visit to Bradford's Ferry will linger long after the final page has been turned, and a guide for group discussion invites further conversation about the story's themes of healing, grace, faith, forgiveness, and freedom. |

| "From the first page you are immersed in the life and loves and losses of Elijah Campbell. A great story pulls you in and doesn't let go until you see yourselfâthis book is like looking into a mirror."
Chris Fabry, author and radio host "Tuesdays with Morrie meets The Shack in The Unhiding of Elijah Campbell. A pitch-perfect page-turner of a story about one man's dismantling and reconstruction as he collides with his past. Authentic, heart-rending, absorbing, and wise, this book hits the bull's-eye of psychological and spiritual relevance. I closed the cover with new clarity, new conviction and, I hope, new capability to forgive and love."
âCheryl Grey Bostrom, author of Sugar Birds "Stunning. Through eloquent prose and exquisite storytelling, Flanagan invites us into the unraveling of another's false self. Yet we enter not as strangers but as friends, caring deeply for the unhiding of Elijah, for the unhiding of us all. The scenes will linger with you, as will wise words to nourish the movement toward your true self. Recommended for all who seek to journey into the deep waters of their own transformation."
âBethany Dearborn Hiser, director of Soul Care at Northwest Family Life and author of From Burned Out to Beloved: Soul Care for Wounded Healers |
