Sigmund Brouwer’s new novel The Canary List is making a splash amidst summer reads as a thrilling tale ala The Da Vinci Code. It too has a hefty dose of intrigue, the supernatural, and Vatican conspiracies. Says Brouwer: “I wanted the novel to be a compelling story that examines whether demons cast out by Jesus were real, as shown in the gospels, or simply mental afflictions, which leads to the slippery slope of then deciding what other truths of the gospel accounts should be rejected. And, as C.S. Lewis pointed out, if demons are real, do we willfully ignore them at our peril?”
