But things are different now. My friends have worked together to give me a new start. My slate wiped clean. No debt. Enough money in the bank to put me back in the home building business. A new home. A new wife. A new family. A new faith.In fact, everything around me is new. But I'm still me. And that's the problem. What will happen when I have to go out and face real life again?Well . . . that's what this story is about.It's also about Jen. My wife. The woman is God's gift to mankind. She loves me. Me! Go figure. She's by my side-loving me, challenging me, charming me. But let's not forget that she has MS; how are we gonna deal with that?Then there's Jim and Susan Swartzkopt. They're still here. But now they're trying to change the paradigm of all our lives. They tell me they're finally going to take the war to those scumbags from the UAI. How exactly are they gonna do that? Their entire arsenal wouldn't arm a respectable cub scout troop. And what's this talk of trying to save their enemies?From the roof of Mrs. Wilson's house, which collapsed just as Vanna turned the T; to the house of torment in Atlanta, where humanity's shame is on display; to the place of ultimate sacrifice, where life is freely poured out; to the seat of splendor, the wellspring of all human desire-that's where it all happens, our story of dying and living.
