Jonah's neighbors are people you've probably met, and maybe even had arguments with. The former 60's radical who lives and agnostic life and longs for the old days of protests and social action committees. The evangelical protestant who knows a few parts from the Bible really well, but who can't argue without sticking to those few excerpts, and who likes the little tracts with comic book frames that show how the Catholic goes to hell.

And just like the surprising things that happen to Jonah Christopher, after I read the book, a priest showed up almost out of nowhere and he was willing to hear my confession.
