The boy, he fears, might never make contact.Gabes mother is another problem. Shes convinced end times are near and shell be raptured off to Heaven, leaving Gabe with his sister, father and baseball. His mother is also convinced, with good reason, that Gabes soul is in danger and hell never be saved. The dangers lurk everywhere. The neighbors. The park and his friends. Even the church.Gabe desperately needs to be saved, but how? He scandalizes himself and his family with his activities in and out of home and church.
