Jesus and the gang are back in the third and final installment of Brian Wild’s Millennium Trilogy! A woman desperate to save her family from falling apart after her death does the unthinkable—she escapes Heaven, leaving Jesus and friends to find her soul and bring it back to Heaven before Satan does, or worse—before she exposes the truth to the world about the afterlife. Throw a visit from God’s father into the mix, and it’s a comedic crisis of family and faith in epic proportions!
