“Encouraging to fellow believers and a revelation to skeptics . . . a fascinating read.” —Jerry B. Jenkins, #1 New York Times–bestselling coauthor of the Left Behind series I’m often asked to describe what happened during the months I spent researching these issues. They want to know what facts were so persuasive that an atheist attorney would become a believer in God. But I never felt I could respond in a way that told the true story. No short answer seemed sufficient. So now, in the following pages, I’ll describe for the first time the specifics of what jolted me out of my atheism . . . Michael felt he was living the American dream. For a number of years he’d been reaping the professional and financial rewards of being a commercial litigation attorney. To him, life was great and getting better all the time. He first gained notoriety around his hometown as a nationally ranked tennis player. But now, years later, he was becoming known for his skills as a lawyer and as the youngest elected official in the area. And then, in his late twenties, Michael unexpectedly discovered something that turned his world and his entire idea of life upside down. In response to a challenge from a friend, Michael agreed to investigate issues relating to science, philosophy, and the Scriptures. Comfortable with his life as an atheist, he began reading with an indifferent attitude. But what started as a casual inquiry soon turned into a time of intense research. This is the story of Michael’s journey in his own words, his thoughts and reactions to the evidence he discovered—and the new life that soon followed.

The Japanese legend of Maneki Neko, the beckoning cat, who is a symbol of good luck and good fortune in many Asian countries. In a small Japanese village, a poor monk and his cat Tama live a simple life at the Kotoku Monastery. One day, a great storm passes through the village, and Tama is caught in the rain outside the temple. She waits under the eaves of a small shrine, cleaning her face and whiskers as best she can with her paw. A noble samurai is also passing through, and stops his horse under the cover of a large tree. But through the rain, what does he see? A cat with a raised paw, beckoning him forward? Curious, the samurai urges his horse forward. Just then, a bolt of lightning flashes and strikes the tree behind him, splitting it in two. The beckoning cat has saved his life. In his gratitude, the samurai brings riches to the small temple and the monk, who shares his wealth with the village. So goes the Japanese legend of Maneki Neko, the beckoning cat. And to this day, the cat with raised paw beckoning guests is a symbol of good luck and good fortune in many Asian countries.

"The Beckoning World is set in the first quarter of the twentieth century, and follows Earl Dunham from the age of twelve to his early fifties. We meet him as a boy about to flee his abusive coal miner-father, for a life in the world, the beckoning world, which he's sure - and it's the only thing he's sure of -- will take him lyrically away from the one in which he's lived. And so, having fled, he traces the Midwest's bituminous seams, resuming the work he's known, his weeks comprised of six days mining coal and, from early spring until sometime in late fall, Sundays in the light, playing baseball. Camp teams, pick-up games, all that matters to Earl is that he plays, that he pitches, and gets ever better at it. Until, a day of high serendipity, a major-league scout happens on a game, signs Earl to a contract and he begins a life, a dream he'd had no idea was a life a man could dream. But dreams sometimes suffer from a lovely abundance, and in Earl's case her name is Emily Marchand. She's a dreamer in her own right, but of a vastly different sort, a beautiful young woman who's also set out on an adventure, one that's both like and unlike his, to "learn some things about the world". When she meets Earl she soon discovers that the world she wants to learn about is him. Their love is quickly deep, and coming with it are heartbreaking complications that make its growth, its textured world, appear impossible"--
