Fall from Grace
“It's time for Heaven to become a democracy.”
Since leaving his calling in the priesthood and saying goodbye to the church, Paul’s life has gone from bad to worse. But now, his inability to hold down a job is the least of his problems.
He and his friends, sceptic extraordinaire Joseph and academic psychologist Lauren, are thrown headfirst into a celestial war that has raged on for two millennia. As a secret plot begins to unravel, the fate of thousands lies in their hands.
To put things right, the three of them must venture into the Heavenly Ruling Chamber alongside those who started the rebellion two thousand years ago – and survive coming face to face with the Almighty himself.

The are a few theological mistakes, however they are easily overlooked. A great book to get people talking.
Matthew Munson is a fantastic person to talk to about writing, always willing to share his experiences in the journey of writing books.

I really enjoyed this book - it was an easy read, with characters and a storyline that held my interest well. I felt the plot worked well, and I now need to go do some background reading on one particular character!
I was concerned as to how the writer would handle the religious aspects, but need not have worried. The setting - local to me (at least the earthly parts) added to the fun, and I sympathised greatly with Paul, Lauren and Joseph.

Great story, good characters. A really refreshing take on the Judeo-Christian mythology which has been done to death recently. But Fall From Grace has plenty of surprises up its sleeve. As a debut novel, this is a great piece of work. I will definitely read Munson's next one!

Very well written. An interesting read, very refreshing. I found myself learning a few things as well as enjoying the story. Loved the switching to different POV's occasionally, the characters and their relationships and the different take on "fallen angels".

This was quite a different read to what I have read before. The writing didn't grip me, but the idea of the story was interesting to me. Paul and his friends are experiencing weird things happening to them, they obviously seek medication attention, but then soon realise this is all too much to be coincidence between the friends, and it must be something else.
Really interesting and original story.
