Christ, For a Day

About the Book

The Deep South harbors many secrets: secrets that rarely find their way into the mainstream world that exists beyond the fiercely protected ‘southern way’. This is the story of a little boy who grew into the man who would “by faith” take his place as the “Christ, of the Last Days”.

    It is a series of anecdotes that commence with the narrative of his childhood, which took place in the very bosom of the South herself…Georgia, and ends with a startling conclusion of his life long vision “to know the biblical Truth, the whole biblical truth, and nothing but the biblical truth”.

The collections of stories and insights of one man’s life and times, are depicted throughout this book with frank and uncensored language, not to provoke or shock the reader, but to emphasize the point… that beauty materializes distinctively in real life.

    With his unhurried southern drawl, good looks and his father’s connections, David set out to quench his thirst for what was beautiful, soft, warm and comforting…women. David took generous advantage of his physical attributes to help open the door to freely and tirelessly expressing one of his two most compelling drives in life…sex.

Enter David’s second most compelling passion… the Bible. The dyslexic inattentive child would become a distant memory for the young man who began to work night and day to read and understand the entire bible.  This book would lead David, and many followers, along a narrow path to an unknown summit. For over three decades of David’s life he propelled himself into the grandeur and then the collapse of a dream.  That “Christ” was an office, and not Jesus’ last name, led him to a world beyond meager illusions and symbols, to the reality of truly becoming …Christ, For A Day.

About the Author

Besides writing a weekly column in Palm Springs, CA called "Ask Gracie", which for a year was published in theThe Desert Daily Guide, my experience as a writer for the last 20 years had been little or next to none. The column was an "Ann Landers" type for animals and was named for Gracie, my exceptionally talented tea-cup poodle. I wrote it in 'her person' and it became a popular cult reading for many. Having often thought about it and now being more encouraged by others to write my autobiography, this certainly lit my fire to do so. To recall the events of my life over a span of 70 years took me on a "four year adventure of writing" that finally climaxed with this finished work. Then with the patient care and expert advice from the staff of AuthorHouse, I have been rewarded with a most satisfactory presentation of my book.  ..... David E.Steward
