The Reboot

By Stephen W. Hiemstra

Book Overview

What happens when we take on someone else's ambition and forget who we are? Tom's true identity is revealed when he acts out of his calling and discovers who he was created to be.

Tom discovers in college at age eighteen that he has many talents, even studying medicine that would please his grandparents who support him and his family. But, studying medicine contradicts his desire to follow his father into law enforcement and would mean the end of his relationship with his true love, Micha.

After a long run, Tom lays down for a nap and wakes up in AD 15 on the road to Sepphoris in ancient Israel where he meets an eighteen-year Jeez (AKA Jesus), who has also been tempted to wander away from his calling. Together, as Roman auxiliaries they travel to Caesarea Philippi and to Rome at the request of King Antipas of Galilee while pursued by a ruthlessly ambitious Herodias. Along the way they discover their true identities, true callings, in participating in the conflicts, cruelties, and idolatries of that age.
