Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: No Rest for the Righteous By: J. G. Schwam Elliot Christmas is not certain he is the Messiah—he is not that keen on labels. His life has been spent on the Bitterroot Range in Montana, seeing to the particular needs of his family and his land with dignity and kindness. Yet suddenly God, for some obscure reason, has become particularly attentive to his wishes. So begins No Rest for the Righteous, a novel that imagines what it might look like if the Messiah were to appear here and now, in 21st century America. Elliot comes to grips with the miraculous scope of his new responsibility throughout a story that is by turns humorous and compassionate. With the full apparatus of the media following his every move and government agencies racing to determine what sort of risk he poses to existing structures of power, the Montana rancher sets off across the country with a simple plan to make all of us get righteous.
