“ Find out about prayer. Somebody must find out about prayer.” Albert EinsteinWith the life of his niece’ s newborn baby hanging in the balance, our hero continues his off-the-record conversations with Yeshua— sometimes visiting him in Bible times, sometimes amidst the baffling events of his own world. One way or another, through trial and error, and always with a touch of humor, he learns the life-changing truths about prayer:-What works-What doesn’ t-What is religious lip-service-What is true communion with GodJoin Will Thomas as he continues stumbling his way toward holiness and, through no fault of his own, an ever-deepening friendship with God.
Just as our hapless hero finally gets used to Jesus’s many surprise visits, the stakes are raised even higher when his ex begs to move into his house with her latest boyfriend. Then, of course, there are the other women in his life— an uber-religious Conservative and a jaded ex-Christian. All this as, barely knowing the Bible himself, he is roped into teaching a Bible study to rival gang members at the local prison. And yet, somehow, amidst the drama, comedy and surprising turn of events, he stumbles into the maturity God has always hoped for him.
After his death, including a tour of heaven, Will realizes Earth’s great need and agrees to return to help. With Jesus’ instruction and their occasional visits to Old Testament times and prophets, our hero learns through failure and mishaps (always with a touch of Myers’s humor), how to prepare for the battles God has called him to fight.
Finally equipped for battle, our reluctant hero begins the fight . . . while learning where the real battlefield lies . . . who his real enemies are . . . when to strike with God’s truth or reach out with His grace . . . and when to quietly pray or boldly take a stand regardless the cost.Now that Will has received the tools of spiritual warfare, he must learn how to use them. Through trial and sometimes comical error— along with patient instruction from Jesus, the Holy Spirit, and the Host of Heaven he learns: What to fight When to fight And, most importantly— Who to fight. As he becomes the warrior God has always called him to be.
