The Pearl: a Book About Human Courage Craig Case

Publisher Marketing: As a pre-existent spirit Joseph prepared extensively for his earthly mission to reunite his scattered Honduran family. This required him to cross through Mexico on the top of a freight train while being pursued by the bloodthirsty leader of a horrific gang. His quest was beyond anything he could have imagined. In heaven, before his birth, Joseph has a first-hand experience with darkness when a friend follows Lucifer and is forcibly cast out of heaven to the earth, where he becomes one of Satan's most powerful leaders. Joseph is given an important assignment and blessing by his Heavenly Father, but is fearful that he will not be able to accomplish the appointed task. In preparation, Joseph is taken to the Mortality Complex, where he readies for the difficult challenges he will face after his mortal birth. On the earth, in his 16th year, having been born in one of the most dangerous and corrupt cities on the planet and having been abandoned, he has the solitary burden to ride "The Beast" through Mexico to reunite his young stepbrother and sister with their lost mother who, year's ago, left her family and went to the United States to work. What happens to Joseph during his quest on the gang-infested Mexican railroad is beyond anything he could have imagined.
