I’m excited to share a new interview about The Inheritance with Peter Okonkwo Literature.

The Inheritance was the first book I wrote, and it is also one of my most personal. The story grew out of my own journey of questioning what I had been taught, searching Scripture for myself, and learning to distinguish truth from human tradition.

In the interview, I talk about:

• What inspired me to write The Inheritance
• Jejune and his unusual companion, Wigglewot
• The River of Tradition and the Narrow Way
• Why I chose to tell the story as an allegory
• How danger, temptation, and grace work together
• Why I wanted the story to encourage readers to think about what they believe and why they believe it

At its heart, The Inheritance is a coming-of-age journey as Jejune searches for Truth—and discovers that the road to the Eternal City isn't necessarily the road everyone tells him to take.

To reach the Eternal City, you must travel the narrow way.
