I meet Jesus on your day I get home from the conflict. I’m on the beach, but I don’t understand how I got here. My head is really as dark as the night time. . . . I spend the whole night on the beach. But when the sun’s faint light commences to bend around the planet earth, I see him. . . . There, arriving toward me, from the light, is a man. . . . Behind the man a faint window curtain of light rises to the sky from the sea. He wears the light like a robe, though I see he’s outfitted like me. Jeans and a T-shirt, no shoes. Which he’s over the age of I am, a great deal older, maybe mid-thirties. He strolls right toward me. He strolls right into my eyes.
So commences the spellbinding report of Warren Harlan Pease, a young U.S. Military sniper freshly delivered from the Iraq Warfare to his indigenous New Hampshire. What follows is a page-turning adventure that is also a robust meditation on faith and conflict, love and damage.
The Previous Day answers questions and asks many more. Equipped with a sniper’s rifle and his deeply organised trust, Specialist Pease vacations across ideological borders and makes an appreciation for his enemy’s culture and then for what connects people as humans. “Warfare doesn’t test thoroughly your trust in Jesus,” Warren comes to realize. “It checks your trust in yourself.” Upon going back home, he spends a whole day with Jesus browsing and contemplating his own life with fresh eyes, and a happy center. He examines his relationship to people he loves, and grapples with the pain he has been transporting inside since the death of his mom when he was just a boy.
This outstanding work of compassion and recovering sophistication combines the topics of religion, conflict and poetry in a manner that is completely original, and unforgettable. It'll resonate with skeptics and believers, be shared and discussed between friends and among people.
