A brilliant comic novel about faith, the media, and making it big in modern America. "I need a gimmick," Don Bollinger said. It was the American thing to do—imagine your fame. Like most writers, Don couldn’t get his novel published. Or pay the rent. Don watched a lot of TV. Televangelists mostly. He hated them, but he watched them often. Barry Gladwell, in particular, the king of Jesus TV. Gladwell was in a class by himself. His very existence was a marketing miracle, a knockout punch to unguarded Christians aching for a smarter God. Don’s girlfriend gave him an ultimatum: “I’m giving you one month to find a job.” But it took a soapbox preacher denouncing Harry Potter to inspire what Don believed could be the idea of a lifetime. When Don leaves the city, he knows neither how nor where his chance may come. But come it will, forever changing the lives in his path: A failed actress and the son she wills to stardom. A displaced family of five. Dozens of kids gathered in a rural church basement. And one grateful girl in a bright pink tank top whose questions soon would be answered. When we set out to do the Lord's work, we never know what's going to happen. Humble yourself, and in due time He may exalt you. Don Prophet is on the way.
