Read stories from the journal entries of Toby Nelson who heard the voice of God say "you do not have a great light." Feeling ill-suited and disappointed, the Voice spoke again, "I am sending you to dark places where your special light will shine brighter."

"The work and calling of a Disaster Pastor is a Terrible-Honor. This book will take you where you likely have never been before. Many of the stories are dark, some are funny and all are meant to be inspirational and instructional.
