On a rainy spring day in Seattle, young software tycoon Micah Taylor receives a cryptic, twenty-five-year-old letter from a great uncle he never knew. It claims a home awaits him on the Oregon coast that will turn his world inside out. Suspecting a prank, Micah arrives at Cannon Beach to discover a stunning brand new nine-thousand square foot house. And after meeting Sarah Sabin at a nearby ice cream shop, he has two reasons to visit the beach every weekend. When bizarre things start happening in the rooms of the home, Micah suspects they have some connection to his enigmatic new friend, Rick, the town mechanic. But Rick will only say the house is spiritual. This unnerves Micah because his faith slipped away like the tide years ago, and he wants to keep it that way. But as he slowly discovers, the home isn't just spiritual, it's a physical manifestation of his soul, which God uses to heal Micah's darkest wounds and lead him into an astonishing new destiny. "An extraordinary read. Part The ScrewtapeLetters , part The Shack ." --Robert Liparulo, best-selling author of Comes a Horseman "A profound spiritual tale spun with imaginative flair. I'm looking forward to more from Jim Rubart." --James Scott Bell, best-selling author of Try Fear "Unforgettable. The kind of book that is talked about long after the last page has been turned. The universe of readers is richer because of this debut novel." --Alton Gansky, author of Enoch and Certain Jeopardy "Two words about Rooms blown away. It's been a long time since I read anything this unique and truly creative, and even longer since a book held me in such rapt attention during the moments I was reading it--and long after." --Deborah Raney, author of the Clayburn novels "A wonderful book . . . Since I began reading it, I've been captivated. It isn't often that a book pulls me so deeply into the fictive dream that I dream about it at night." --Terri Blackstock, author of Predator and Intervention Winner, Best Inspirational Novel of 2010 --RTBOOKREVIEWS Reviewers' Choice Awards

Book Review of Rooms
"A wonderful fictional portrayal of the mysterious, adventurous, and amazing workings of God in the life of a believer on his way to his hearts desire.?
Are you a believer? Or, are you on your way to walking with God? If so, you are going to find the events in this novel right up your alley.
Micah Taylor, the twenty-something founder of a multi-million dollar software company finds himself finds himself summoned to a journey of fulfillment like he has never known before which will take him through changes that many Christians undertake.
First he is intrigued by a letter from a long dead great-uncle. Then, he experiences doors that appear, disappear and then reappear ? each one purposed to challenge him in his walk with God.
Though shaken and apprehensive, he begins to taste the sweetest of a walk with his Creator and is finally faced with a moment that may cost him everything he has worked for.
What did I love most about this novel? Quite a number of things; how deception by some things we consider dear plays out in a life, the waywardness of Micah?s decisions that somehow resembled those in my own life, and perhaps the most striking was the way a heart resurfaces at an appointed time to call a soul home.
Loved the dialogue, loved the warmth of the characters, and the supernatural aspect visually portrayed in the rooms. Just a great read for those of us who have traveled the internal struggles Micah faced in this story.
If you are looking for a different kind of novel that portrays what many of us go through on our way back to God, this is great choice. I recommend it highly.
