Brilliant, young scientists are drawn together by a Nobel Laureate who has "proved" that space is not empty; it is a continuous fabric made of tiny, entwined "strings". His team is to devise experiments that show his acclaimed equations are true. The professor draws criticism from some faculty for his profound, Christian views. He displays Christian art in his office and teaches a popular Sunday School class across the street from the University. A deadly love triangle erupts among the researchers. A lovely girl is wooed by two very different men: one a devout, young Christian, the other a demon-possessed, suave, rich and handsome young man. The rivalry is resolved in a bizarre sequence of events. The tale progresses through a verbal tapestry of intriguing scenarios, filled with emotion, surprises and fascinating facts.

"Meet Your Biggest Booster, Jesus!" is a conversation between the author and You. Jesus is introduced as The Encourager. He wants to "boost" the quality of Your life, and He wants to "boost" You into Heaven. The worldly notions You were taught in high-school or college and by TV and other media are challenged. The theories of Darwin and Einstein are examined. The accuracy of the Bible is championed. Awe inspiring fulfillments of ancient prophecies are highlighted, and prophecies yet to be fulfilled are revealed. The coming "Rapture of the Church", the "Millennial Kingdom", and the "New Heaven and Earth" are set forth vividly. The ancient sacrifice system, culminating in the Crucifixion of Jesus, is shown to be the central theme of the Bible. Without doubt, Christ died for You. The Passion of Christ is probed in a reverential way. This book will give You new insights, and if You have never yet surrendered Yourself to Christ, it is a plea for You to be "born again", into the Family of God.
