Here it is!<\/a> Enjoy!<\/p>\n<p>The Man from Sun Prairie is a Christian alternate reality fantasy (think Narnia without the kids and the talking animals) filled with Thurber-style humor (The Secret Life of Walter Mitty). It features Straight Arrow, a marginalized nobody in our world who becomes a national hero (or villain?) in the Kingdom of Arken. Traveling with him is Dove Fogico. Dove carries The Gift: Everyone she touches hears the voice of God.<\/p>\n<p>When Straight Arrow tries to save the life of the president of the United States, everything goes terribly wrong\u2014and magically right. He ends up in the Kingdom of Arken where he saves the life of the king with a Peter Sellers \/ Pink Panther flavor rescue. But then the king\u2019s daughter turns up missing along with Dove Fogico. All eyes look to to Straight Arrow. Is he a hero? Or an assassin?<\/p>\n<p>Readers should be aware that the book contains nonexplicit references to rape.<br \/>\nReaders from the Madison and Sun Prairie, Wisconsin, USA area will enjoy the local references.<\/p>\n<p>While the story does address some serious issues (e.g., recovery from rape), it\u2019s mostly pure fun. The story comes from inside the mind of the quirky main character. If you share my sense of humor, he\u2019s both hilarious and deeply touching. The book contains Christian content without being preachy or sappy.<\/p>\n<p>One reader wrote, \u201cI laughed, I was inspired, and I was challenged\u2026the humor and adventure cut across many boundaries\u2026I really enjoyed the conversational telling of the story\u2026I felt as though I was sitting on a chair listening to you tell your story\u2026The ending was an interesting surprise\u2026I\u2026enjoyed it thoroughly.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I was inspired to write this by my wife Kim, who really does carry The Gift. She helps people experience the voice of God in all kinds of creative ways.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/dwightclough.com\/free-resources-2\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">More free gifts\/resources on this page &#8230;<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The free gift can change at any moment.
