The Saints are Coming: A Rebel Priest, a Daring Woman and their Years of Living Dangerously

The Songs of Jesse Adams

Gregory Jordan

Christian fiction at its best: A fascinating allegorical tale.

Peter McKinnon Acorn Press

Twenty-Third Publications An illuminating tale of the Church’s mission and fierce spiritual resistance, in a dangerous and complex world. The gripping true story of a parish community set in one of the most violent places on earth; the Anapra barrio in Juarez, Mexico. Kevin Mullins, a rowdy Australian priest, and his housekeeper, Rayna risk everything to build a parish while dealing with murderous drug cartels, oppressive poverty, powerful cults, roving street gangs, and crooked government officials.

Imagine that Jesus and his followers were alive in the 1960’s and lived in Melbourne. What would they have found? What would their experiences have been? Follow the meteoric rise of Jesse, a farmer’s son who, as he travels with his band, captivates and transforms his fans as they hear his songs and encounter his touch. Lives are changed in unexpected ways and the enigmatic character, Jesse, becomes a symbol of hope and freedom for those living on society’s edge. But not all will celebrate the rising tide of Jesse’s influence … with profound consequences.
