Coaltown Jesus
- Used Book in Good Condition
When Jesus shows up in Walkerâ€™s life, healing triumphs over heartbreak in Koertgeâ€™s finest and funniest novel yet.

Walker shouldnâ€™t have been so surprised to find Jesus standing in the middle of his bedroom. After all, heâ€™d prayed for whoever was up there to help him, and to help his mom, who hadnâ€™t stopped crying since Noah died two months ago. But since when have prayers actually been answered? And since when has Jesus been so . . . irreverent? But as astounding as Jesusâ€™ sudden appearance is, itâ€™s going to take more than divine intervention for Walker to come to terms with his brotherâ€™s sudden death. Why would God take seventeen-year-old Noah when half of the residents in his momâ€™s nursing home were waiting to die? And why would he send Jesus to Coaltown, Illinois, to pick up the pieces? In a spare and often humorous text, renowned poet Ron Koertge tackles some of lifeâ€™s biggest questions â€” and humanizes the divine savior in a way that highlights the divinity in all of us.
