Surprising God

Some journeys save the world. This one must save Profit.

In Surprising God, Yeshua questions whether God can be surprised, raising questions about faith, and free will. Seeking safety in 1863 Virginia City, Ariel, Profit, Evelyn, Conner, Yeshua, and Jean Baptiste meet Mark Twain and courtesan Julia Bulette. Then Yeshua foresees Julia's murder four years in the future.

Determined to intervene, they leap forward, only to discover that history will not surrender its secrets. When Julia is killed, Profit becomes the prime suspect, and Ariel's anger over his betrayal may be as dangerous as the lynch mob outside his cell. While Ariel hunts the murderer, Profit confronts his younger self and the love he has long taken for granted.

In Happy Hurting Grounds, Ariel and the Virgin Bloods fight to save Profit while his spirit awakens in Yellowstone beside Abooksigun, an Algonquin medicine man who believes Profit must answer for the life he has led.

A memory of Profit's long-absent father sends the men from Ojo Caliente to a burning St. Louis hotel and the bewildering world of 2000 Dallas. What Profit discovers will transform his understanding of his parents, Indigenous heritage, and connection to the Virgin Bloods. To return to Ariel and their children, he must resist his oldest temptations and confront the sins that have wounded the woman he loves.

This double volume includes: Surprising God and Happy Hurting Grounds.
