Produktbeschreibung

Daniel is a regular guy who survives a fatal crash with the help of an angel. As part of that experience, he is given the ability to see what happens to the souls of the other individuals who did not live through the tragedy. His interactions with the families and loved ones of the deceased individuals bring both joy and sorrow. The challenges Daniel faces along the way of being a worldwide celebrity result in many changes to his everyday life. The emphasis that Daniel's experience places on the reality God and of heaven and hell sets in motion intriguing responses from groups who are working to minimize the influence that Christianity has on society; ultimately putting the survivor's life in danger.

Autorenporträt

There is no doubt in my mind that this book was inspired by our Heavenly Father. As King David of Israel said over 3,000 years ago in what we now call Psalm 16: I will praise the Lord, who counsels me; even at night my heart instructs me.
The idea for this book was first laid on my heart in 2004. It was one of three novel ideas that were presented to me by our Lord as I was finishing my initial novel, The Twin. That was a historical fiction book based on the Bible and any credible ancient evidence I could find on the Apostle Thomas. Inspiration for three other books was provided in quick succession. So, like I did for the first book, I kept my day job and began the research and writing of the novel, Lazarus Come Forth. As a part time author, that book took several years to get into print.
After a short break I was eager to get rolling on another project, but in 2006, when I completed "License to Preach" school I was assigned to Lacota United Methodist Church as a part-time local pastor. As the pastor of a small rural church, that position involved preparing for forty-eight to fifty worship services a year, along with the sermon research and writing. As such, my writing efforts changed focus.
But I never forgot the inspiration for this book. About six months after retiring from Lacota and working through some health issues, I was pondering which project to start. It was very clear that God was counseling me to move forward with this mission. Once I committed to writing, many of the scenes and bits of dialogue came to me in my sleep; hence the opening reference to Psalm 16:7.
Though the inspiration for this work was clearly from the Almighty, the dedication is to my wife, Susan. She has been encouraging through all of the efforts; from the initial inspiration to final completion. Without her love and support, you would not be reading this!
Like Daniel, the story's protagonist, I balanced a full-time position and part-time pastoring. Also, like Daniel, I committed any funds that were received from the church for charity. That continues for any profits that are received from the sale of this book. Those funds are dedicated to Our Lady of Nazareth Elementary and High School in Nairobi, Kenya. It is a school under the direction of the Marianists which brings hope to some of the poorest of the poor in a part of the world where education is a privilege, not a right. Anyone moved to provide additional support should open the link at www.marianist.com/oln to learn how to sponsor a child's education. It will be the best couple of hundred dollars that you ever spend. Feel free to reach out to the author at [e-mail].
