The Parable spans the true spiritual journey of Greg Aalvik, a full-fledged Christian "Backslider." Raised in a strict, extremely religious home, his prayers never seemed to get past the ceiling. For thirty years, no matter how earnest, nothing ever worked and nothing he did ever changed. God never talked to him, never revealed himself, there were no signs, no miracles.
