What's the Name of That Book??? discussion

A high-rise steel worker survives a several hundred foot fall to the street below and, a short time later, survives another fatal accident without a scratch.
People start whispering that he is the second coming of Christ, so much so that he is invited to meet the Pope.

Would this be something frm the Joshua series? Written by Joseph F. Girzoe?

This is the one that came up in a search:

The Shepherd, 1990.

Summary: A conservative bishop becomes a church reformer--to his superiors' dismay--after he meets a man named Joshua who urges him to unify Christ's divided flock.

No, the point of view character is the steel worker. He is working through what is happening but has no guidance.

I would class this book as science/speculative fiction, just not as memorable as Morrow's "Only Begotton Daughter", Clarke's "Chldhood's End", or Henderson's People stories.

Thank you for the suggestion though.

Did some searching and it sounds like The Second Son by Charles Sailor.

Yes, one look at the cover art was enough. This is the book I was trying to remember. Thank you!
