Publisher's Synopsis
As sudden as a light switch turning off, John's world came to a crash. John had held his world in the palm of his hand. Life was not perfect by any means, but the family was dealing with it and once the new routines settled in, all would be back to a happy normal. The camping and canoeing trip planned with new friends from the church would help further alleviate everyone's nerves and draw them back to familiarity within their world. That is what John had thought and subliminally counted on. What he hadn't envisioned was the tragedy that would ensnare their lives, leading them to crumble simultaneously in a devastating instant without warning. He now stood teetering on a parapet overlooking a dark and deep chasm. His inner demons chomping at his will for survival, pushing and pulling at him. Manipulating his normally logical thinking. John never thought he would ever come to a point in his existence where he would consider giving in and leaping into the massive darkness, but there he was contemplating his worth to his congregation, his friends, the woman he loved, and yes, his creator. John had all but given up the responsibilities to his new church and its parishioners. He was too devoured by his own losses to give his much-needed attention to those around him that were suffering their own internal wars. There was a storm on the horizon and someone was bound to lose their grip in the turmoil. Something unthinkable was on the cusp of the wall cloud that was barreling down toward the small town of Ash Grove, Missouri. Who would fall first and begin a domino effect? Come ride the freight train of emotions one seemingly normal mortal man experiences as he takes a twisted journey toward renewing the world that he had once enjoyed without effort. Meet the town's people and learn what can happen in a little place tucked away in the Ozark hills when an outsider meant to lead them in faith, stumbles and falls into a reclusive life spent on the back porch of a small shack searching for ways to save himself from the dreams and haunts of his past. Through anger and tears, action and inaction, the story of just how far one man can push his Creator away before it becomes too much. Does that single miracle that is known as grace even exist that could restore his world, t? Or had he placed too much faith in accepting the call he believed he had received?
