Inhaltsangabe

It was never about hearts. It was always about being asked.

Nate Nelson was three years old, standing in a Catholic church, when he asked why Jesus was still hanging on the cross — and nobody could answer him. He has been hearing a voice ever since, and arguing with it for fifty years.

This is the account of what that voice said, what he did about it, and where he got it wrong.

He was wrong about his first wife coming home. He told a woman to paint the room pink and she had a son. He prayed for a boy to keep his own heart, and the boy got somebody else's. He carried words into churches that would not take them and watched the buildings come down anyway. And he buried a friend he had privately decided was not going to make it.

He wrote all of it down, including the parts that cost him.

So he ends the book with the four questions he now runs every word through:

Is it biblical, and does it lift up Jesus?
Does it build up the person I am about to hand it to?
Who else heard it, and what did time do to it?
What would prove this wrong, and when?

"Everything in these pages happened. I have not invented an event or moved a miracle. Where I found I had improved one in the retelling, the true version is what is printed and the better story is gone." — from the Author's Note
