Beautifully written and full of hard-won wisdom, I Love Jesus, But I Want to Die offers a path toward a rich, hope-filled life in Christ, even when healing doesn’t look like what you expect.

Lifestones


Book Description

Since his wife and child were killed in a car accident, the life of Paul Solomon, a Nano-physicist has all but collapsed. Once a golden boy, he's now sidelined with unimportant research in a section of the lab nicknamed "The Side Show." There is an accident that almost destroys the lab during one of his experiments. As a result, his discovery creates an adventure that is astonishing, will make you laugh, and probably dream a little. ------------ Lifestones is written in a format which the author refers to as a "movel" - meaning that it is heavy in dialogue, written in the present tense, and easy to read.
