Allen Tiernon is a new Christian who wanted to tell his atheist friend about his new faith. Unfortunately, the discussion went tragically wrong and Allen finds himself having to discuss his ultimate failure in a statement to the police. This is a short story.
Jeffrey Allen Davis was born on March 2, 1975, in St. Charles, MO.The youngest of three boys, he was sheltered by his loving mother. Instead of going out to parties when he was in high school, he stayed at home and watched 80s ninja movies or played RPGs with his fellow geeks (a term that he uses affectionately). These experiences have found their way into his writing. His first book, "Invasion of the Togakura", was released in 2003 by Publish America. It's sequel, "Klandestine Maneuvers", was published by the same company in 2005. After a five-year hiatus from publishing, Davis founded a new press for his third book, "Lily's Redemption." A rewrite of his first book, retitled "Invasion of the Ninja," was released in 2013.
Davis is a licensed Baptist preacher and lives in the St. Louis area with his wife, daughter and two stepchildren.
Very, very good short story! Brought tears to my eyes. We sometimes don't understand God's plan but He's always at work. He never calls us to success only to obedience.
Even if this had just been a story of pure fiction, it would have been a good read. But it's based on a true happening, and is truly encouraging to anyone who doubts that they can be used by God, often in the most unexpected ways and places!
