A Midnight Calling From God - PAUL Johnston - Bog

This novelette is short on pages, but long on impact. It is an intensely Christian story. It tells the story of a man now old, broken, and with regrets who on the outside was a good Christian man all his life. Yet, looking from the inside out he came to the conclusion that he had lived his life as a halfway Christian in contrast to his best friend who lived his life for Christ with no reservations. With his own mortality in mind, he receives a late life calling from the Lord at what he considers the midnight hour of his life. He attempts to right his wrongs and is brought across the pathways of two very needy youths. One is tortured by guilt for being more interested in a video game than his own brother's welfare which led to his brother's death. The other is a cast off child. His innocence was sold by his drug addict mother to any pedophile predator with enough money for her next fix. He is shunned by the other neighborhood children and driven to the brink of suicide by his short but infamous past. Can God use a man who has lived his life as a halfway Christian to heal the wounds of these needy children? Read it for yourself for the answer and delve into the sensitive subjects of doubting one's salvation and what is the balance between living a righteous life before God and still showing compassion to those struggling with sin and temptations.
