Welcome to a world in which hard-hats, store clerks,
gamblers, alcoholics, ministers, gangsters and others
live out stories of action, danger, tragedy, humor and
deliverance. Here is a varied blend of hard-to-forget
short stories written with clean, hard prose and crisp
dialogue by a writer who knows his craft. The rich
variety of characters, moods, and settings, from a Nazi
general discussing religion before a crucial tank battle,
to a guy driving down the Connecticut Turnpike at night
listening to Sinatra while he worries about his sister’s
marriage, to another character getting beat up in the
men’s room of Scully’s Bar & Grille, to a preacher
tempted into committing adultery, and even a hit man—it’s
all here. The publication of this book can only enhance
Ralph Filicchia’s standing as the most imaginative and
innovative writer of short Christian fiction in America
today—Ed.
“Ralph Filicchia’s bare-knuckle writing can keep you on
the edge of your seat”—Dave Livingstone, Regional
Representative—Jesus Film, Campus Crusade for Christ
“If this book catches on it could change the future of
Christian fiction. The story “The Conversation,” with
its unusual structure, is a little gem that could only
be written by a writer who has lived in, seen, and
listened to the real world. A number of other stories
are the closest we have yet come to what might be called
Christian “pulp” fiction—Rev. Don Sharpe
