What would happen if God wanted to shake you from spiritual slumber?
In Jan F. Solvberg's profound new novel Pastor Dave experience a rude awakening, broken ribs and instant healing by a stranger, claiming Jesus did it...
Sulking of pain and discomfort from broken ribs, his wife nags him to come along to town for shopping. In the parking lot a stranger and his little daughter show up, and as they pray Pastor Dave is healed.
--"Whoa, what's that? What's happening?" Dave shouted, staring from the girl to the father.
--"That is the power of God, healing you," the stranger said.
So begins Pastor Dave Knight's spiritual awakening after a nightmare abruptly left him with broken ribs, followed by a miraculous healing. Faced with the question, "If I would meet Jesus today, would I be ready for Eternity?", prompts him on a life changing search to get right with God.
Revelations of the ancient Church of Jesus Christ, where the Apostles John, Peter and Paul spread the Gospel throughout Israel, are opened up to him. He sees that mature believers operate with the same true authority given by Jesus.
Jesus' calling was: 'Go! Preach the Gospel! Heal the sick! Cast out demons!'
What did they preach? How did they disciple believers? What about miracles and healing? How did they cast out evil spirits? Has the Church forgotten all this since AD400!
The thought, 'What does God think of me?' challenges his faith to the core and drives him to change. When God talks back, Pastor Dave not only discovers the Church of God's Remnant, but he has to resurrect the Gospel of Jesus Christ. He must 'Kickstart' His people to rise against the Evil pitted to destroy the nation.
Will Pastor Dave succeed on his quest? Join him on a journey that not only challenges him, but also you and may also deepen your understanding and anchor your faith for the times to come.
