A novel dangerously close to evil and too close to reality... dabbling in things not of God. Maya is a young woman with extraordinary prospects who is drowning in intense discontent. In the midst of her anguish, she meets Cha Ma, a Hindu guru. Immediately she believes that Cha Ma is an avatar—a human incarnation—of the goddess Kali, the most malevolent and destructive of all Hindu deities. Spellbound, Maya leaves behind her parents, faith, career, life, and moves to India to live in Cha Ma's ashram as a Hindu. Her choice hurls her parents into emotional, physical, and spiritual battles far beyond their wildest imaginations, for they must fight for their daughter's life and soul as she teeters on the edge of her very existence. Spirits supernaturally collide as they battle for the lives and souls of Maya, her parents, and the people attached to them. As Maya seeks truth, she finds the dabbling in things not of God makes way for the insidiousness and slipperiness of evil and the danger of sliding deeper and deeper into its darkness.

Maya delves deeper into things not of God. Having given up her promising life without a single glance back, she moves to an ashram in India to worship her guru, Cha Ma—whom many believe to be an avatar of the goddess Kali. Maya spirals deeper and deeper into a fantastical, supernatural world that is beyond her wildest dreams and worst nightmares. As an insidious web of evil weaves tightly about her, Maya sinks into greater and greater delusion—slipping between euphoric highs and suicidal lows. Maya’s experiences cause her to question her beliefs and test her sanity. On the other side of the world, after having been unwittingly tossed into the deadly battle by Maya’s choice to move to India, her parents continue to face increasingly more difficult emotional, physical, and spiritual battles as they fight for Maya’s life. The stakes are high in this violent war between good and evil as heavenly angels and demonic beings strategize and battle to gain ground for the souls of Maya, her parents, and people close to them. As Maya dabbles deeper and deeper into things not of God, the evil surrounding her threatens to overwhelm and destroy her and others. Will Maya survive in her chosen new world? Will her parents survive the warfare aimed at them because of loving her?
