Chapter 1 ~ Rapture Ready
Dr. George Saunders was sitting in the den of their apartment on 400 Riverside Drive watching the local news. All the talk was about Andrew Cuomo's recent resignation as governor of New York and the fall of Afghanistan to the Taliban. Although George wasn't sure what he thought about Cuomo's resignation, he was sure about his concern for the hospital. The delta virus was surging, and hospital space was again becoming a premium.
In this story, Jesus comes to New York City and chooses a gay man to be his messenger. The two proceed to establish a movement to redefine the Christian faith. The characters are warm and zany, and their escapades will make you laugh and challenge you to think. The book offers a quick read and considerable food for thought.
As you can see, this novel is very current, with COVID surging. It's set in New York City, and that's where Jesus shows up for the "second coming." I've already found my favorite lines, even though I just downloaded this short book onto my Kindle this afternoon:
"Christianity or Islam is not the important thing. What matters most is loving your neighbor."

I am still not ready to read books with Covid in them. I am glad you are enjoying this one.
