The Faithful One

He just wanted to escape from his dysfunctional household, plagued by fights that happened between his alcoholic mother and his unemployed father over their debt issues. Yet young David's means for an escape, committing vandalism to an economy-hit neighborhood store, turns into something more than he originally expected. In the newest juvenile Christian fiction book by author Susie Jacobson, David's criminal turn leads him to experience an encounter with Jesus while hiding out in a church. Jesus tells David he has been chosen to become a warrior for God and leader among his peers; all Jesus requires is that David take responsibility for his actions and becomes faithful again in attending church and youth group again. Amazed by the vision experience, David finds new purpose in facing his troubles and family, which begins to affect not just David, but those of his friends, family and even people in his town.
