An intrepid streets-evangelist spars with locals identifying as spiritual but not religious. To disparage Gospel resistance, Evangelist-teacher designs an extraordinary Holiness-Pitch touting Christianity’s spirituality to appeal to religious outliers. The book is episodic, each chapter parsing out a foundational belief for non-religious community inhabitants. Random encounters declare belief as redeemable currency at a celestial currency exchange; one above the rest soul-cleansing of all blame for trespasses against God’s commandments. Since behaviors showcase belief, God welcomes a U-turn by Gospel deniers. This book’s testimony encourages and glorifies such instances. Gift as a primer for anyone holding out for a Savior named Jesus; lukewarm Christians may experience rekindled first love. Sage elders have a saying: When finding what you sought, you found it in the last place you looked. So, look no further.

Sage elders have a saying: When finding what you sought, you found it in the last place you looked. So, look no further. I wrote this book without identifying the gender of Evangelist-teacher. It turned out to be tricky, but fun to not use gender specific, gender neutral, or political-correct references. The reason: the gender of a street-walking evangelist should not eclipse the gospel message to be discerned in the book.

Author Note: To avoid identifying Evangelist-teacher's gender, a street walking evangelist, made for challenging writing, as I did not want gender to supersede the story's Gospel message. Adept usage of gender avoidance tact rather than gender neutral or gender inclusive pronouns, or workarounds, presented a tricky, but fun challenge for this neophyte writer.

Arlis Stetson's stagnated ministry, rife with jeers and rejection, chances rebooting its evangelical thrust into his ragtag urban community while simultaneously neutralizing a sinister religious organization mysteriously appearing in town. Arlis rallies a motley crew of underperforming ministers specializing in streets evangelism. Arlis' audacious squad fights on two fronts—themselves, and their mysterious adversary—while teaching Bible relevancy to religious outliers in their community. Frequent gatherings at Martha's Soul Food Cafe fans their outrage over the shallow penetration of Christ's gospel into their parish. Mutually, over shrimp and grits, the four men and woman of God commiserate condemning inept church leadership. What unacknowledged attraction unites these Christian fellows devoted to varying apostolic teachings? Is their untested streets evangelism makeover and its flagship message, 'The Holiness Pitch,' so sensational that Gospel scoffers pay attention? Leaning on his deceased wisdom teacher's credos, Uncle-daddy, life-lessons galore erupt.
Uncle-daddy (referred to as Daddy in chapter #1) is a sage character quoted throughout the novel when situations requiring spiritual insight confront Reverend Ato Stetson. As I progressed in crafting this novel, I realized that Uncle-daddy offered the kind of guidance reserved for God's Holy Spirit. This bothered me because I had no intention of usurping the role of Holy Spirit. Therefore, I made Uncle-daddy a bit imperfect in some of his advice. Besides, imperfect characters are more interesting, short of being evilly motivated. Imperfection kindly intended is benign and a reflection of one's humanity. By the way, since this novel will be self-published, I adopted my own style by capitalizing pronouns relating to God--e.g., He, His, Him, etc.. Also, I do not capitalize the word satan, giving that entity no respect.)
