About this ebook
Along with its serious side, it has a good deal of fun, with a fanciful look at heaven, who gets in, and what life is like after Peter welcomes them. Peter chews tobacco, but he has no place to spit because God won’t let him have a spittoon. Two Mandan Indians show up at the gate. They’re chewing Red Man and each has a spittoon. Peter borrows one and hides it behind a pot of petunias, but he doesn’t tell God. Now he can spit when he leans over and pretends he’s smelling the petunias
The author has made every effort to show the heroes in their glory as well as when they commit their sins and atrocious crimes. He does not believe we should ignore them or explain them away and read the Bible with rose-colored glasses. He believes that if it’s a book of truth, then we should face the truth of what it shows.
Jesse W. Thompson
After service in the Navy during WWTwo, I finished college on the GI Bill, then went on to Luther Seminary in St. Paul for three more years; from there as a pastor to Fairbanks, Alaska, then to a tour of duty as a Navy chaplain in San Diego and the Far East, followed by pastorates in Washington, California, and Minnesota.The more I learned, the less I believed of the hard-nosed doctrines of most religions and the denominations within those religions. I resigned from active involvement as a minister.Through all the years, I wrote, traveled, studied, entertained, MC'd banquets at conventions, did a few TV commercials, some theater work, and I continue to read, to learn, and to write as the years fly by.
