Languages : en
Pages : 70

Book Description
This story depicts the adventures of a young man who accidentally discovers a large quantity of drug-related cash during a trip in the Bahamian Islands, which then allows him to extend his vacation further to a trip to France, where he encounters a young café waitress and convinces her to join him in traveling the rustic countryside by train. The young man and woman eventually yield to their desires at a later time and engage in a torrid love affair, which leads them to become engaged and married. Their relationship and the young man’s funds allowed them to visit the Bahamas, where they simply relaxed and indulged themselves with many sensuous sexual encounters with each other. These torrid encounters eventually lead to the girl’s pregnancy, but she refuses to marry the young man due to fear of what her uncle and others may think of her and her present condition. The young couple finally agreed to be officially married in a church ceremony, which was to be conducted in both the countries of France and the United States so that each of their family members could attend and celebrate their wedding, and without knowledge of her pregnancy. Their baby girl is eventually born in Connecticut, where the young man’s Italian family members engage in many facetious episodes while caring for both the baby and mother and verbally clashing occasionally due to their cultural differences.

"Jake's Preacher Gig" is a two-part story that focuses on characters from three separate families, tracking the daily life of the principle character, Reverend Jake Millsaps.

One of Jake's primary duties is to develop a drug intervention program to combat the college's flagging enrollment. The point of view of this tale is unique: we see all action though the eyes of a group of stumbling demons. Our demons do not dispense curses, nor do they commit any physical mayhem. They exist only in the spiritual dimension and use their powers of suggestion to try to influence events in Jake's day-to-day life. Their purpose is to encourage chaos to undermine Jake's effectiveness as campus pastor.
