No One Who Ever Met Ben Was Quite the Same... Though seemingly a youthful "rebel without a cause," nine-year-old Ben Beamering--a pastor's son--is so serious about finding God that he won't pretend with his Christianity. His extraordinary ability to live without hypocrisy and his memorable insights about people, events, and God are remarkable--and often disconcerting. Ben's pure honesty causes commotion and consternation--and food for thought--wherever he goes. And neither his family nor the church is quite prepared for the challenge. In Saint Ben and its sequel The Saints' and Angels' Song, included here in this two-for-one edition, Ben's best friend, Jonathan, tells the captivating story of one boy's diligent quest for God and its impact on a community., A special-value edition contains both nostalgic novels of a young boy and the friendships that will change his life, and faith, forever.
