Josh Gibson loves Jesus. He also has a slight tendency toward dramatic ideas. When the 26-year-old plumber becomes convinced that people have forgotten the real meaning of Easter, he takes a stand—by climbing fifty feet up a radio tower behind Grove Baptist Church and chaining himself to it. What begins as a one-man protest quickly turns into a small-town spectacle involving a long-winded pastor, a cigar-smoking sheriff, a sarcastic deputy, a determined news reporter, and a crowd that can’t decide whether Josh is a hero or a complete idiot. The only person who might be able to talk him down is Mary Truman, the brave EMT who once had a crush on him in high school. When Mary climbs the tower to reason with Josh, the two discover that faith, forgiveness, and love sometimes appear in the most unexpected places—even fifty feet above the ground. A Higher Calling is a warm, funny small-town romance about grace, second chances, and the surprising ways God works in people’s lives.
