Publisher's Summary:
The Last Day answers questions and asks many more. Armed with a sniper's rifle and his deeply held faith, Specialist Pease travels across ideological borders and earns an appreciation for his enemy's culture and for what connects us all as human beings. "War doesn't test your faith in Jesus," Warren comes to realize. "It tests your faith in yourself."
Upon returning home, he spends an entire day with Jesus, visiting and contemplating his own life with fresh eyes and a willing heart. He examines his relationship to those he loves, and grapples with the pain he has been carrying inside since the death of his mother when he was just a boy.
This extraordinary work of compassion and healing grace combines the themes of religion, war, and poetry in a way that is wholly original and unforgettable. It will resonate with skeptics and believers, and be shared and discussed between friends and among families.
Critic Reviews:
"It's tough to do a guy-meets-Jesus book and not be too pious for some and/or too heretical for others. [James] Landis walks a line somewhere between in this ambitious and lyrical story of a young veteran returning to his New Hampshire home from the Iraq War. (Publishers Weekly)
