Ray Gentry loved airplanes from the time he was a boy, watching the old biplanes dusting cotton fields near his home in Tennessee. After college, he became a military pilot, flying in Vietnam, and later took a job as a sprayer pilot in the Mississippi Delta. It was his insatiable love for flying, however, that eventually led him to make a fateful decision with disastrous consequences for himself and those he loved. His compromise to make a “one-time flight” to Central America would lead him deep into the dark world of drug smuggling, murder, and corruption in high places. It seemed he would spend the rest of his life paying the Devil’s due. God had a different plan! Ray’s flight to redemption would begin, ironically, with a deadly plane crash and a suitcase full of dirty money. With ruthless and relentless pursuers never far behind, there would be strategic stops across the lower forty-eight and Alaska. With the help of godly people along the route and a salty old bush pilot, who convinced him prayer was his answer, Ray reaches a stunning destination complete with a new flight plan and mission for life!

This is a fictional story based on the true story of an otherwise “normal” family dealing with the obsessive, driven world of a paranoid schizophrenic young man. The action with this child starts when he is still in diapers and continues into adulthood. He walks the town dressed like a baby wearing a diaper, sucking on a pacifier one day, then the next becomes truly paranoid tying to contact aliens with a home radio “rigged” to a trash can and a fishing pole on the rooftop of his family home. Neighbors glare at the family as they manage their way through his escapades.

The imagination of this man takes him into a world where there is a pot of gold at the end of every rainbow, and lucky things happen to people who love green. This wild family trip through life leaves most wondering how they ever survived. The parents and siblings are tormented, terrified and embarrassed on a regular basis, but somehow learn to cope in the end with the humor in telling their life tales.

Fr. Tom Kennedy’s first experience with something totally out of the norm is when he hears the confession of a small boy who scares the priest with his evil description of something he has done and for which he has no remorse.

The Nazarene woman approaches a school board meeting for the purpose of lodging a complaint against their removal of all books relating in any way to Christianity. What she encounters at the meeting is our first look at the power of Satan unchecked.

A number of other individuals find disturbing human actions and nature gone wrong. What has caused the garden, belonging to Fr. Tom’s mother, to rot into plastic-type vegetation? What is behind the riots within the small community where they live? What is the cause of the mysterious behavior the non-believer finds in the wilderness of northern Minnesota?

Why is the disturbing prayer life and extreme difficulty with dreams from all the individuals we meet so much of a concern to not only the ones suffering but to us the readers?

Fr. Tom and another priest friend call a meeting of all the individuals we know and some we will get to know at this meeting. The purpose of this get-together is to determine the cause of these common effects on the lives of so many different people from different backgrounds and different faiths. The meeting becomes a place where all the concerns are voiced and all the sufferings are exposed. A possible reason for the commonalities is shared and agreed upon by all the attendees.

How do we, God’s people, face this problem that eventually takes Fr. Tom all the way from his bishop to Rome? Fr. Tom receives some heavenly help in solving this problem as he takes steps to engage the path that he has been directed.
