Publisher's Synopsis
God wanted to share the wonder of the universe with a companion. First he created the angels, but in their power and pride, many followed Lucifer into rebellion. Next he created man, but man chose knowledge over innocence.Casting man from the Garden of Eden, God placed a lock on human minds, allowing them access to only a fraction of their mental potential. Now He waits for one member of mankind to break through the lock and prove himself worthy enough to be God's true companion.Twelve-year-old Jesus "Jesse" Smith knows nothing of this. He's just a boy like any other, getting into mischief in the Roman countryside. He's watched over by his mother Gaia and Cort, the mysterious dwarf who acts as Jesse's surrogate father.When thieves assault the custodian of the local church, Jesse steps in to defend him. What happens next is a miracle, but one which comes at a price. The lock on Jesse's mind breaks, as does the balance between Good and Evil. Demons swarm the countryside with a single goal: the destruction of Jesse Smith.
