About this listen
Could you defend your beliefs if your life depended on it?
Charles Cullen, a brilliant university professor and ruthless killer, makes a daring escape from a hospital for the criminally insane.
Dr. Joseph Kallinger, the psychologist who examined Cullen, is called in to help find him with a burnt-out cop who thinks Kallinger’s diagnosis is to blame for the situation they’re in.
On the college campus, Evangelical Christian Danny Ranes arrives for his freshman year and falls for bold and beautiful Shavonda Jackson, who introduces him to social justice and identity politics.
Danny begins a life-changing journey of deconstructing his faith and is drawn into a network of radical activism. He is forced to make a dangerous choice that may change his life forever.
Ideas have consequences—and then the frightening video recordings start to show up. Charles Cullen captures college professors and debates with them on screen. The proposition: his moral right to kill them.
Can the psychologist and cop catch the serial killer and stop his philosophical murders or will their own inner demons break them first?
When you listen to this novel, it will lead you on a frightening roller coaster of deep thought and high suspense, with pulse-pounding chills into the very meaning of the existence of God.
Cruel Logic is the first in the Theological Thriller Novel series of riveting suspenseful novels about human nature, the problem of evil, and the existence of God.

Story
This book is the haunting true story of pain Frank Peretti never forgot but never, until recently, shared with the world. It's the story of growing up with a medical condition that left him disfigured. A series of surgeries and the slow miracle of answered prayer took care of the deformity, but not the underdeveloped frame or the excruciating reality of being different. And it was for these petty "crimes" that Peretti was prosecuted every day at school - especially in gym class, but also in the halls, on the school grounds, even in his own neighborhood.

Captivating, relevant and speaks truth
Wasn't sure what to expect when I started this book and was hoping it wasn't "condemning". I was more than
satisfied- I was hooked. It referenced many actual events so I was placed in the storyline and could feel and see the characters play out in my mind so clearly. it was very captivating and suspenseful with twists and turns - I couldn't put it down. This is one of those audiobooks I will listen to again. Very excited to check out his other books. Talented narrator too!

Top Tier Narration!
The narration of this book was top Tier! it really made the story come alive for me! I find it amazing how the author was able to mix together theology, psychology, murder and the craziness of our current so social and political climate all-in one really good book! I hate what happened to Danny though. I really wish there was a book 2. I'd really like to see justice served for Danny and for Shavonda to be exposed and Pay for what she did. 💯 As you can see, I'm highly invested here. Lol 😆
