“Let’s eliminate the pretenses here and now. I know you’re going to try and convince me that following Jesus is exactly what I need in my life, aren’t you?” “Mick, that’s really not how I go about things. I’m not about shoving the Lord down someone’s throat. The reality is, if I can convince you to follow Jesus, then there’s definitely someone else smarter than I am who can convince you not to. I just try to make myself available to people and get a feel for what the Lord is already doing in their lives. It’s ultimately God’s responsibility to get your attention and ‘convince’ you and it’s an individual’s responsibility to be responsive,” James relayed, making quotation mark gestures with his fingers as he said, ‘convince.’ “No fire and brimstone?” “I believe some are called to that for different reasons, but that’s not my style. I don’t carry a club, either.”

About the Book
‘Of Embers’ Ashes’ is a modern day ‘thief at the cross’ story of restoration, forgiveness and redemption: The week started off typical for Mick Shorlan, regrets of his past and family tragedies that had consumed him for years filled his thoughts, he took the time to search out and harass a street evangelist, standards for the bitter, egocentric and self centered man he had become. Yet this week would prove to be the most critical for him, when a series of events confront him with himself, his attitudes, perspectives and who he is at the core of his very being. Orchestrated by the Creator, the changes Mick undergoes in a week’s time, especially concerning forgiveness, transform him, in preparation for the not so Hollywood, happy ending.
