"A rare gem...a novel about the spiritual awakening of a modern day Ebenezer Scrooge...."
Desmond Morehouse was a crotchety old pastor who would give anything to forget his shameful past. Anything, that is, except his iron-fisted self-will.
It had begun long ago, on a dark and stormy night in World War II—a night of horror and death on the battlefield that left the Pastor burdened with haunting guilt, fear, and a false identity.
Over the years, his shameful secret slowly ate away at his heart and robbed him of the joy of being a child of God. Now a fading television evangelist in his autumn years, his life has deteriorated into endless frustrations and conflicts.
As an ominous thunder storm rages through the night, Pastor Morehouse settles down to read once more Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol. He is overtaken by sleep, only to be awakened by a mysterious intruder named Jonathan. It is the beginning of a life-changing, Dickensesque adventure through which the Pastor is taken back in time to see himself through the eyes of those he loved, as well as those he rejected—and to relive "that night" of fear, death, and guilt.
The journey's end is Golgotha, where the Pastor discovers his ancient past and true identity, and enters in to what a blessed few have come to know.
