Gripping from the very first page, 63 Hours in Hell pulled me into Davis's descriptive depiction of the spiritual world. Woven with scripture and Biblical references, the narrative takes the reader on a fascinating journey, not holding back on Satan's wickedness or Christ's miraculous power, Davis makes the spiritual world come to life, reminding us the devil is alive and active, but so is our Great God. After reading it, I have a renewed appreciation for my faith. I'm so glad I'm on team Jesus.

For instance, the potential ability of flying with angels, or traveling to cool places through visual time travel, perhap even having the ability to talk with any and all of the people depicted in the Bible, including Jesus Himself.

An ancient system of values torn down.
The noble families who upheld it, erased.
Clemenza Giudice, a dispossessed noble-turned-clockmaker, has one goal: do whatever it takes to regain her family's social status. Even if it costs her soul. So when she is asked to steal an illicit piece of technology for the man who took everything from her, Clemenza negotiates in hopes of saving her family from utter ruin.
But people are harder to control than clocks. And now she's stuck on a journey into the heart of a dangerous capital rumored to hide illegal experiments with corrupted aether. Her companions include her rival clockmaker, an ostentatious smuggler, his sister enslaved at a pleasure house, his apprenticed thief, and a handsome architect who harbors many secrets.
The true cost of helping her family might mean becoming like the man who ruined them, no matter the guilt she may feel. In an Italian Renaissance-inspired world, Clemenza and her companions must pursue their own interests---or protect their broken society, where betrayal, theft, and murder flourish.
There is nothing else that is like them or that could take their place. - T. S. Eliot
I have just read your Place of the Lion and it is to me one of the major literary events of my life ... There are layers and layers-first the pleasure that any good fantasy gives me: then, what is rarely (tho' not so very rarely) combined with this, the pleasure of a real philosophical and theological stimulus: thirdly, characters: fourthly, what I neither expected nor desired, substantial edification. - C. S. Lewis
I want to make clear that these novels of Williams ... are, first of all, very good reading.
To him [Williams] the supernatural was perfectly natural, and the natural was also supernatural. And this peculiarity gave him that profound insight into Good and Evil, into the heights of Heaven and the depths of Hell, which provides both the immediate thrill, and the permanent message of novels. Williams is telling us about a world of experience known to him ... he communicates this experience that he has had.
The Novels of Charles Williams is a collection of seven gripping novels. These supernatural thrillers are all set in the modern world but present human life as being controlled by unseen powers that operate at another level. In this respect, they are very similar to the Harry Potter series. The reader is shown that the supernatural is, in fact, perfectly natural, and exerts an influence on every aspect of our daily existence. On one level, these novels are gripping stories, but at another, they are a unique blend of fantasy, theology, morality and the supernatural which has not been surpassed, and which leave a deep impression on the reader.
Charles Williams was physically frail and for financial reasons never attended university; however, he had a vivid imagination and an inquiring mind. He was always interested in books, and after school he started life packing books but rose to be a proof-reader and then an editor at Oxford University Press; he was appointed a lecturer at Oxford University, and was even awarded an honorary M.A. by the university. As an author he was very versatile, writing novels, plays, poetry, popular theology, and academic works on literature. He was one of the Inklings, a group that included C. S. Lewis and J. R. R. Tolkien. One can see his influence on Lewis and Tolkien. Williams is most remembered for his novels which are collected in this omnibus edition.
This edition contains the seven novels War in Heaven, Many Dimensions, The Place of the Lion, The Greater Trumps, Shadows of Ecstasy, Descent into Hell, and All Hallows' Eve, and also the short story, Et in Sempiternum Pereant, which features the protagonist of Many Dimensions.
In the vibrant city of Loom, an elderly man named Lapanyan has dedicated his life to spinning yarn for the city's weavers. His spinning wheel, his lifeline, is tragically lost, leaving him in a state of despair.
In the midst of his hardship, Lapanyan discovers a peculiar treasure. This treasure has a unique characteristic: it seems to be alive. Intriguingly, he learns that this treasure thrives on generosity.
This realization leads Lapanyan on a path of self-discovery. He learns that the essence of true wealth lies not in accumulation but in sharing. As he distributes his treasure among those in need, he finds it multiplying, bringing him not just material wealth but also immense joy.
This story beautifully intertwines elements of magic, wisdom, and the age-old lesson of generosity. It takes the reader on a journey through the lively city of Loom, its industrious weavers, and the life of Lapanyan. It is a heartwarming tale that will inspire readers to share their own treasures.
Experience the charm of Loom, the wisdom of Lapanyan, and the joy of sharing in this captivating story. It is a tale that transcends age, equally enthralling for a child hearing it for the first time or an adult revisiting it. It illustrates how adversity can lead to profound discovery, and how true wealth lies in the act of giving.
This is a tale about a young Isrite, named Opie. Not a very powerful name 'Opie' but Isrites aren't supposed to be powerful, you see. They are peaceful folk who prefer their fruits and grand tales, as well as spending a hard-working day on their respective crafts, over wars and power. They don't typically leave their home of Mount Ne'de, which resides in the south, and they live upon the treetops. Trees, from which the very first Isrites (Ofer and Avak) were born from the roots of. Opie is given a mission by the Keredah (rebels) to lead a group southward, back to her homeland from whence she ran away at fourteen years old to join this war (She is now nineteen). A necromancer rises there and odd things have been happening around the world of Ganmuth...very odd. At the foundation of her core Opie will always do what is selfless and good, so a company of twelve (odd) Keredahs is gathered for her.

While others flee, a young student name Anthony Durrant realizes that it is up to him to face down the monstrous powers before they destroy the world...
The Place of the Lion is one of Charles Williams' most beloved novels. C.S. Lewis called reading it, ...one of the major literary events of my life. Along with Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien, Williams was member of the Inklings, an informal group of writers in Oxford, England who changed the world with their mythopoetic vision.
