A miracle in the making

This is a hunting and memorable book. Christian Floyd works in a high powered career in finance. It's an ordinary life until one rainy night he interrupts a rape and robbery and inadvertently heals the victim of the attack. For Christian life will never be the same again. This is a power he did not want or ask for. When the media finds out that this was not a one off miracle, and he has the power to cure the incurable, Christian is literally on the run in order to maintain any slice of his life he can call his own. The healing does not make him a better man but it does make his life profoundly strange. In many ways this book is a modern allegory of Christ. Its well written and enjoyable and asks the question 'What would YOU do if the power to genuinely heal the sick was thrust upon you.'
