An editor strikes up an unusual friendship with a down on his luck man named Simon. Simon tells the editor that Simon helps people in his life who need it. He also requests that his new friend help him publish a prayer manuscript at "the right time". The friendship lasts through many mysterious events and tests the editor's faith in many ways. I enjoyed this book very much. It drew you in and was very thought-provoking. I give it an A+!
The story of Simon the ragpicker who helps the author after a snow storm. It turns into a friendship with the two talking about various things in life. Simon tells the author that he is a ragpicker who looks for the down trodden and tries to restore them. He gives the author a document that Simon uses to help those receive a better life.
I like his books because they make you want to be a better person.
Great so far
