Luke's Passage

Luke Hatcher is the pride of Magnolia Springs, Louisiana; the perfect kid. He attends Galilee Baptist Church -- doesn't drink, doesn't smoke, doesn't cuss. He's also the star of the high school baseball team and is on his way to LSU after graduation on a full scholarship.It all started with a simple bet. Can Haley Sparks, the star pitcher on the girl's softball team, the tomboy from down the street whom he has tormented since they were little kids -- but he is now beginning to see with entirely different eyes -- strike out the mighty Luke Hatcher?Two strikes fly by, but on the third pitch, bat and ball meet with perfect timing. And the second he makes contact, Luke knows in his gut that life is about to change. Later that night in the ICU ward, he cries out to God with all his might. But Haley dies before the next sunrise.Luke swears he'll never play ball again -- and never believe in a God who doesn't answer prayer; who allows 17-year-old girls to die.Luke's Passage is a gripping novel of tragedy and the ultimate triumph of love and faith.Davis, Max is the author of 'Luke's Passage', published 2006 under ISBN 9780978513719 and ISBN 0978513711.
