This is a story about faith, hope, and love; that takes us on a journey through the lives of Grampa, George, and Uncle Red. How a garden, and some special seeds, will help build and bond together their relationships. All that is sown, in love, will follow them into eternity. When lives meet and come together, there is always seed sown. Good seed or bad seed; that's up to each individual. We reap what we sow! Grampa had gone out for his evening walk. He wasn't expecting anything out of the ordinary. "When he looked down again, the man was gone, vanished, no where to be seen!" George found himself facing a challenge that he hadn't planned on. "This could be a disaster, he thought to himself; as the fear began to tighten it's grip around his heart and mind" Uncle Red has been making a steady comeback from the land of the lost. "There was Uncle Red staring at George with that big ol' grin running across his face; as he showed off the dead spider on the table." "That's when George knew that Uncle Red was completely crazy" Darlin, Grampa's beloved dog, "Looked up in total agreement" Some of the events in this story are true, while others are not. Which are true? I'm not telling. I will leave that up to your own imagination. Now don't miss the short story at the back of this book, just a few pages in reverse. "THE CROW, THE FLEA, AND THE GRASSHOPPER" Not much in length, but then again; it might just give you something interesting to think about!

Through the supernatural effects of a bizarre and mysterious wooden corpus, they reach out to one another, spanning time and space across two millennia, in each's individual search for meaning and identity in the midst of chaos, defeat, and despair. DJ Morgan and his first-century counterpart finally meet, to share the great cosmic moment of redemption. This is not just another book about the search for biblical antiquity. It is the gripping story of a disruptive, soul-searing, life-changing event for two men who were lost, then found.
