A Twisted Rainbow
A Twisted Rainbow is a quirky, whimsical, and moving Christian coming-of-age novel about two young men who rebel against their Christian upbringing to pursue the American Dream.
Joel, a Preacher’s Kid plagued by guilt about almost everything wrong he’s ever done, is afraid God will call him into the ministry. His best friend, Roberto, resents Christianity because of the way the church that brought him and his family to the United States treated them.
But will winning a five million dollar lottery give them what they really want and need? When they suffer the unexpected loss of their fortune, their hopes and dreams rocket far out of reach.
What one, simple, unexpected occurrence can make them forget about the fool’s gold that had previously seemed so important and enable them to enjoy genuine riches in God’s love and goodness?

Joel's story had me from the first chapter
I love the way Joel handles being a PK. His honesty and his positive attitude. All the other characters tied a great read together. I highly recommend you read this book!
