ABOUT THE BOOK

Five people looking for a reason to keep living are about to find it in the last place they expect... In my usual "big cast" style comes a story of what happens when one man puts his faith on the line and holds up a John 3:16 sign at a sporting event. Roman Paulson's life revolves around his son, Billy, a University of Nebraska football hero with a promising life ahead of him. But when Billy's coach encroaches on Roman's relationship with his son, Roman fears he'll lose Billy forever. Roman isn't the only one whose world turns upside down. He's one of five unsuspecting people whose lives intersect on a bright fall day.

JEN'S REVIEW

I made the mistake of reading John 3:16 on an airplane. This was a mistake only because at one point, I started crying. Not just misting up a little, but actual tears-rolling-down-my-face-type crying. And I had no tissue. But it was well worth a little embarassment and a soggy shirt front.

We've all seen the signs held up in crowds at sporting events, but in her moving novel, Nancy Moser makes us feel the impact of one such sign. She masterfully intertwines the lives of seemingly unrelated people and shows us how the results of our actions spread out like ripples, touching others and changing lives. In John 3:16 we also experience God's love and grace. The book is a poignant reminder that God is always with us, even when life doesn't make sense.
