Feist (Paperback)

At the moment in which Fort Sumter is fired upon, an oak branch falls upon the head of a singular young man, Nathan Feist. It's God's way of summoning Feist to the Garden of Eden. God asks Feist to stop the gathering war as quickly as possible. In exchange, He will show him paradise. This is an offer any sane man would refuse. But Feist feels differently. And off he goes, a self-proclaimed modern Moses, leading a ragtag bunch through many major battles, meeting Presidents, preachers, and fabulous villains in an attempt to bring world peace for all times. God, however, also has other plans.
