The Eternal Life Ministry of Teenage Michael Maier

About the Book

When Michael Maier entered Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, as a freshman, teachers and students were astonished at what they regarded as the boy’s superior intellect. After the Valentine’s Day Massacre, it was arranged for Michael to meet with interested students once a week in a vacant classroom adjacent to the study hall. Michael, in his eternal life ministry, provided astonishing insight into the human body and spirit. Michael’s ministry proved to be a helpful adjunct to the daily efforts of a team of professional grief counselors. Michael’s crowning achievement is displayed in chapter 10 and by the cover art of this novel.
