Following a spiritual experience, Peter Quill begins to have dreams that come true. When he correctly predicts a major event in front of the church, he is heralded as a modern day prophet. It isn’t until his dreams challenge the biases of people in the community that he comes under attack, discovering what it means to truly be a prophet of God.

About the Author
I grew up in Franklin Tennessee, just outside of Nashville, where I attended a conservative, charismatic church that actively sought the gifts of the Holy Spirit. After graduating from Pepperdine University, I bounced around for a few introspective years before eventually moving back home to Tennessee. Along the way, I began to question some of my longstanding beliefs and attempted to reconcile my political and religious views. Increasingly, I became saddened and angered with how Christianity was so misrepresented for personal and political gain. Hometown Prophet was born out of that frustration.

I downloaded this book to my Kindle just before heading off on vacation. It appeared to be an interesting read, and I was not disappointed. It definitely held my attention from the beginning to the very end. I was thrilled to read true Christian fiction that finally was realistic and not sappy. It was challenging and inspiring. I hope and pray that Jeffrey Fulmer continues to write more stories of this genre.
Although I was raised in a mainstream church, while in college, I joined the ranks of the born again, evangelical, fundamentalists. I even became a Republican (much to the horror of my liberal, Methodist minister grandfather). After about 15 years of this type of indoctrination, I left an Easter service in tears, realizing that what I was being fed was destroying my spirit, rather than lifting it. It took some time, but I recovered from being "born again." I did a thorough analysis of my heart, mind and belief system and discovered I was truly a devout and sensible Christian who is also a very independent thinker, with a passion for social justice for all people. I believe this is what Jesus expects of me, too.

I met Jeff Fulmer, who is a really nice guy, so I was curious what kind of book he'd written. We shared being raised in very bible based households, which I think for myself is a good thing, even though I, like Jeff, have thoughts about and spiritual leanings which might not agree with many in the church of my childhood.
The books main character is very believable. The script and actions flow well. As the story is unfolding I'm smacked in the face with the very problems I see around me, problems which concern me deeply. Here it is in fiction form! Amazing. I haven't finished the book, but when I do, I'll be back with more analysis.
BTW, I never give an author a five star rating, unless the writing is so extraordinary caliber of a Faulkner or Dostoevsky! How rare those are, but I still appreciate some good reads and this is certainly one.

Jeff Fulmer weaves recent historical facts into a well-written work of fiction. Or is it fiction? I could not put this book down; read it in two evenings. Would love to see a film of this made by Ron Howard or Steven Spielberg. It is that good!
