Jesus' Son: Stories Denis Johnson
Publisher: Harper Perennial

Remember the Sunday school stories? But at the start of the story we hear, her son has died, too. A child-friendly, lyrically written book that weaves 44 Bible stories into a common tapestry that clearly shows God's plan for mankind. We share his meal and pray with him. Jesus' Son is almost a novel in short story form. The unnamed narrator is only known to us by his nickname: Fuckhead. Jesus' Son (1992) has perhaps as much claim to be a novel as a collection of stories. We hear the stories of our King Eternal life, for us he'll win. This, his only short story collection, is unfathomably out of print in the UK. In the name of the +Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. It is the gospel story, where Jesus, God's Son, proves faithful when humanity could not. The final story is the beautiful redemption of the heartbreak of the Garden and of Israel. Her despair must have been visible. Pray to the father.and ask intersession thru the son.But if you aren't already lifed up a more robust action may be required.Just saying. The unnamed narrator of the stories is an alcoholic drug addict who manages to survive through a mix of petty thievery, odd odd jobs, and straight-up bumming it. For the widow of Nain, there was the hope of living with the care and support of her grown son. Told through a train wreck of regret and longing, the stories in Jesus' Son unapologetically expose the malignancies of the human heart.
