Opis

A Voice in The Wilderness is a captivating thriller loosely based on the story of Jesus. When called upon to perform a seemingly impossible mission for God, CJ embarks on a task that sends him on a trajectory to disaster. While struggling to make sense of the ominous, scripture quoting voice inside his head, CJ receives a disturbing visit from a beautiful angel. She informs him that God has chosen him to save his people from destruction. Blessed with Christ-like powers and passionately obsessed with his quest to save mankind from the wrath of God, CJ assembles a band of converted pimps, players and hustlers with whom he travels the country preaching the Gospel and performing astonishing miracles. His amazing performances and brazen denunciation of the wrongs in American society earn him worldwide celebrity status, as well as the fury of powerful religious and governmental leaders. Chief among CJ's persecutors is Rev Bradshaw, a charismatic yet corrupt televangelist who is determined to put an end to CJ's fame, his power and his life. Although Voice takes place in 21st Century America, the reactions and responses of people fueled by greed and power and threatened by exposure that would jeopardize their power, finances and reputation are much the same as they were 2,000 years ago - as is their reaction to phenomenon they cannot explain. It shows that even though times change, God is the same today, yesterday and forever. A Voice in the Wilderness is a thought provoking, enlightening and humorous story that readers of all ages will enjoy.
