A Nightmare, or the Dream of a Lifetime? On his 50th birthday, prophet Jeff Fitzpatrick boards a plane in California, looking forward to his return home. But that is the last thing he remembers. Now he is alone on a beach, having a dream that takes him back to the milestones of his life for the past thirty years...including the return of his nemesis, a powerful archangel, head of the demons...a force of evil called simply The Leader. This time, The Leader doesn't intend to fail. He returns to earth, disguised in human form, and renews his mission to eliminate Jeff. But The Leader doesn't anticipate the growing dissent among his own ranks or the massive hunt for him by both law enforcement and the archangels for good. As Jeff's dream unfolds, The Student Prophet: Going Home thrills and tantalizes with a thought-provoking and richly characterized tale of demons and angels, with the fate of the world hanging in the balance.
