Eli - by Bill Myers (Paperback)

About the Book

A successful TV newscaster is hurled into a parallel world exactly like this one with one exception: Jesus has not yet come upon the scene, until now. An agnostic at best, the hero watches and participates in a contemporary telling of the gospel, from the virgin birth in the back of a Motel 6 laundry room to the eventual lynching and resurrection--all told set in today's society. "Eli" gives readers a fresh, startling glimpse of Jesus as a living, breathing, here-and-now person with the power to change lives.
