The heart of God can be found in the unlikeliest places, in the unlikeliest people. Jamie Blaine is an unconventional, and actually quite accidental, psychiatric crisis interventionist whose work takes him to the least of these. A gifted storyteller, Blaine shares heart-wrenching and sometimes hilarious stories of everyday people who need to know God is there in their darkest hours people dealing with secret shame, doubt, desperation, even suicide. Humans looking for wholeness, looking for Jesus. Painting beauty where it seems none exists, Midnight Jesus helps readers transcend their own struggles, showing how truth can come from the strangest places. They will meet people like Skeeter and Wookie, two homeless guys who show that community happens wherever there is shared need and a willingness to give Pastor Ponder who holds an altar call after his sermon at the psych ward and says its the best church service he's ever had Kat, the tattooed hairdresser who dreams about Jesus and longs for spiritual connection, who shows that you can't judge a book by its cover Jesus, who makes an invisible cameo in every story As Blaine writes, I am one wrecked and dirty treasure, but God still decides I am worth the effort to save. Jamie Blaine is the kind of writer whose view of the commonplace transforms life into the transcendent.
