Bookroo's summary

Pete is captivated by a charismatic preacher promising salvation, ready to abandon everything for a new mission. But when the preacher vanishes with someone else, Pete faces a night of revelation. Who can he truly rely on, and what does it mean to find oneself? As he grapples with faith and friendship, Pete must confront the reality of his choices and the true meaning of salvation. Will he find the strength to redefine his path, or will the allure of the preacher's promises lead him astray? Discover the journey of faith, trust, and self-discovery.

From the publisher

Pete has always been religious and looking for salvation, so he easly falls under the mesmerizing influence of the Preacher Man who comes to town to lead a revival meeting. When the Precher Man invites Pete to join him on his mission, Pete can’t say no, even if it means leaving behind his family, his best friend Rufus, and the home he loves. But during the long night he waits in vain for the Preacher Man–who has left town with a teenaged girl instead of Pete–he learns whom he can really depend on.
