Opis

Joshua walked to the front of the room and stood behind the podium. From deep within, he heard these words. On his deathbed an evangelist bequeaths his vision of a church and the gift of gold to build it to a fortuitous young man, Joshua Summer-but with a binding promise. Summer's Gold And Its Redemptive Ooze follows Summer's arduous quest to fulfill this vision through the challenges and triumphs of living in the American South during the 1890s.

Halfheartedly accepting the responsibility of his quest, Summer clashes with local law enforcement, is pursued by Federal agents, and encounters the K-group, a racist faction similar to the Ku Klux Klan. But only when he experiences soul-wrenching changes and emerges confident and mature does he become a man ready to build a church.

After overcoming racial prejudice, Summer unites the whole county through the power of God's transformative love, providing a healing balm to this hate-filled community.
