Alex Malarkey ‘The Boy Who Came Back From Heaven’ and Mother Face Eviction From Home After Husband Evicts
Editor’s Note. Longtime readers of Protestia/ Pulpit and Pen will recognize Alex. Though the story doesn’t get into it, after Alex was paralyzed, his father (The one evicting them in the story- pray for his repentance) wrote a book about it, in the heavenly tourism genre, called ‘The Boy Who Came Back From Heaven.‘ It was all made up, and Alex and his mom recanted and retracted it. Notably, is that Justin Peters contacted Lifeway, then under the helm of Thom Rainer and Ed Stetzer, to have it pulled, and Lifeway refused to do so, much to their great shame and revealing deep character flaws. We broke the story, which went viral worldwide and forced their hand to remove it after enough pressure was put on them.

Now Alex and Beth are a facing monumental challenge, with legal proceedings stating they are to vacate their County Road 57 home near Huntsville by midnight Saturday, Oct. 1.
Beth’s ex-husband and Alex’s father, Kevin Malarkey, has filed an eviction notice against both Alex and Beth. Kevin owns the title to the home and now resides in Colorado. Beth has been making regular mortgage payments on the home for the last five years, she explained.
