The Finger of God

By Jeff Malphurs

Joe Moore is feeling under the weather. He isn't sick. He's just worried about his grandson's recent diagnosis of an inoperable brain tumor. As if that wasn't enough, a tall, skinny man suddenly appears under the old oak tree at the end of his street. The man doesn't talk to anybody, and he acts as if he's invisible to everyone around him. He sticks out though. On Doreen Street, a white man who walks in twisty, jerky motions definitely sticks out.

The stranger immediately makes Joe uneasy, and the more Joe watches from his porch, the more he becomes convinced the man is there with malicious intent.

It doesn't take long to prove Joe was right to be concerned. An unpredictable, unbeatable force threatens to change Doreen Street forever. No matter how great or powerful the threat, though, one thing is certain - nothing can change a community as much as one man's life well-lived.

Joe Moore shepherds an entire neighborhood, sometimes with compassion and wisdom, sometimes with a hustler's hard edge. Through a life of hardships and triumphs, Joe refuses to exist without purpose, live without passion, or die without cause.
