The Waiting Room

You've never forgiven that person. You tell yourself it doesn't matter anymore. But what if, at the very edge of death, someone showed you exactly how wrong you were?

When airline pilot Bob Frisbee flatlines in a hospital bed, he doesn't find a tunnel of light or a choir of angels. He finds a room. A waiting room. And a guide named Mr O, who holds a file on every wound Bob ever caused, every bitterness he buried, and every person he refused to forgive. The wheel of Bob's life glows bright for the people he loved and goes dark for everyone else.

From the schoolyard bully to the father broken by war, each dark spoke must be lit before Bob can move on. But forgiveness isn't just a lesson here. It's a near-death experience that comes at a cost. And when Bob takes the Escape Tunnel, he discovers that life after death has its own version of outer darkness.

Researcher of the Nephilim, angels, and demons, L.A. Marzulli brings prophetic vision to this Christian afterlife fiction that does not romanticise the other side. Between heaven and earth, Bob encounters the cosmic war Scripture calls real, fallen angels, the second coming in motion.

In The Waiting Room, you will:

• Experience a heaven book unlike any other, where forgiveness is not optional, and heaven is real enough to cost you everything
• Follow one man's proof of heaven and to heaven and back, and the terrifying proof of what unforgiveness does to a soul
• Encounter the spiritual warfare dimension of forgiveness, how unresolved bitterness becomes a foothold for darkness
• Discover what Scripture says about imagining heaven, the Millennial Kingdom, the White Horse armies, and the return of Christ
• Be moved to act on the broken relationships and people you've written off in your own life

Gripping, theologically rich, and deeply human, The Waiting Room is the rare novel that will make you close it slowly and then pick up the phone to call someone you haven't spoken to in years.

About the Author

L.A. Marzulli is an author, lecturer, and filmmaker with fourteen books to his name, including The Nephilim Trilogy, a CBA bestseller that introduced a generation of readers to biblical supernatural fiction rooted in prophecy and the ancient cosmic war between light and darkness.

A frank supernaturalist, Marzulli has spent decades researching UFOs, the Nephilim, and ancient prophetic texts, presenting his findings at conferences and churches worldwide and through appearances on national and international radio and television programs. His book series On the Trail of the Nephilim presents forensic and archaeological evidence for the giants described in Scripture and has become a landmark in Christian supernatural research.

Marzulli teamed with film producer Richard Shaw to create The Watchers series, eleven documentary films exploring the UFO phenomenon, fallen angels, and end-times prophecy. Watchers 7: UFOPhysical Evidence won both the UFO Best Film and People's Choice Award at the UFO Congress in 2014. He has since continued the series with filmmaker Gil Zimmerman, completing ten additional films.

Based on his work on The Nephilim Trilogy, Marzulli received an honorary doctorate from Pacific International University and was honored with the Gold Medallion Award from Chuck Missler at the K-House Conference in 2014. He draws on his own near-death experience to give The Waiting Room its theological depth and visceral authenticity.

With over 238,000 YouTube subscribers and an active following across TikTok, Facebook, and Instagram, Marzulli continues to reach a global audience hungry for truth at the intersection of prophecy, the supernatural, and Scripture.
