Jim's Cross
Jesus said, "He who does not take his cross and follow after me is not worthy of me (Matt. 10:38). When Jim finds the church's cross buried in dirt and leaves, he shoulders it and places it beside the church door. It is a signal of hope and salvation. Passers-by who see it know the church is a refuge from Ouima. For Jim that cross symbolizes the burden he has of fighting Ouima, finding the language code book owner, and rescuing his father and John and Gary. He has no one to rely upon for help except God.
Book Excerpt
World Eternal: Proselytes
The church’s cross! It must have been the cross that he had heard fall during that terrible night he had slept in the church building. He picked it up and brushed it off, removing the spider webs from the end. Lifting the cross up against his shoulder, he grabbed his backpack with his other hand and walked behind his mother to the front door.
Where to put it? Not on the roof, where Ouima’s ball glistened atop the building in the early-morning sun. He leaned it against the outside wall by the door. There it would be a welcoming sign to all who wanted to worship their Lord.
