This is the story of Bubba Jackson, a thirteen-year-old boy whose
dreadful life illustrates the fact that God, in His great love and
mercy, never abandons us. Bubba is the product of a broken home.
His father deserted the family several years earlier, and he lives
with his alcoholic mother, who resents being stuck with him. He
makes terrible grades in school, is picked on by other students,
and fails at practically everything he does. Even though Bubba is
desperate for love and acceptance, he often tries to get even with
the people who have hurt him. This almost always results in
terrible problems for everyone involved, until the one person he
hurts the most leads him down a strange new path. Charles Armstrong
was born-again as a child. He doesn't remember the exact date. All
he knows is that the moment Christ came into his life, he went from
death to life and became a child of the living God. In the years
that followed, Charles often felt like he had let God down. He
tried and failed many times to live the life he thought God
expected of him. The harder he tried, the worse he failed, until he
finally understood that no matter how hard he tried, he would never
be able to do it. That's when he realized that God didn't even want
him to try. What God wanted was for Charles to die to himself and
trust Jesus to live His life through him. The burden was
transferred from Charles' shoulders to His. It was a bright new
day.
