Synopsis

Pete has always been religious and looking for salvation, so he easly falls under the mesmerizing influence of the Preacher Man who comes to town to lead a revival meeting. When the Precher Man invites Pete to join him on his mission, Pete can't say no, even if it means leaving behind his family, his best friend Rufus, and the home he loves. But during the long night he waits in vain for the Preacher Man--who has left town with a teenaged girl instead of Pete--he learns whom he can really depend on.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

How much do you have to give up to find yourself?

When Pete first sets eyes on the Man, he's convinced he's an ax murderer. But at the revival meeting, Pete discovers that the Man is actually a savior of souls, and Pete has been waiting all his life to be saved.

It's not something Pete's parents can understand. Certainly his best friend, Rufus, an avowed atheist, doesn't understand. But Pete knows he can't imagine life without the Man. So when the Man invites Pete to join him on his mission, how can Pete say no-even if it means leaving behind everything he's ever loved?
