Naked Before God

This passionate book, written from the perspective of Nathaniel, an imaginary disciple of Jesus, follows this cystic fibrosis patient as he wanders through the Gospel narratives in search of an answer to the question, "Why?" Nathaniel seeks healing for his soul even as his body falls apart, and in painfully honest and often humorous language, demands to understand grace, suffering, and forgiveness while seeking to know the reality of God's love for him.
