Omega Addams thought it was a typical work day until a detour on the way home changes everything. She's almost killed, but an innocent bystander, Mitchell Franklin, takes a bullet for Omega during a gas station robbery. In the aftermath, Omega has no idea that God expects her to “pray it forward” until a spiritual battle unfolds before her eyes. Another innocent bystander is in trouble; unless Omega gets her prayer life together, others will die without Christ. It's a chain reaction that highlights the responsibility of a Christian—hot, cold, or lukewarm.

His job is to destroy the most illegal of commodities, the printed book, along with the houses in which they are hidden. Montag never questions the destruction and ruin his actions produce, returning each day to his bland life and wife, Mildred, who spends all day with her television "family."

Heartfelt listen
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
This book was a terrific story and a fulfilling listen. I felt like I was listening to a sermon at church sometimes and I mean that in a good way. It made me reflect on my life, too.
Who was your favorite character and why?
Yolanda was my favorite character because she had her life all figured out and didn't need anyone else....she thought. I can relate.
What about Sharon Washington’s performance did you like?
Her voice was very soothing to listen to. I would listen to more books read by her.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
Yes, I had a strong reaction to this book. It made me realize some things.
