“Lord, help me to really make a difference.” That was the very average prayer Pastor Chris Schimel prayed while walking into his California church. Little did he know that God would take him up on his offer.

When an irate and possibly insane man showed up at Pastor Chris’ church on what would have otherwise been a normal afternoon, the pastor felt his anxiety level rising and his time slipping away. When the man continued to visit and the pastor became increasingly involved in the desperate man’s life – it became crystal clear that God placed the man in Pastor Chris’ life for a reason.

This personal touching story will help readers better understand those who are hurting – and that the answers and circumstances are never simple.

Based on a true story.
