Joe Moore has always been a leader of his predominately black neighborhood in a small Southern town. He's a devoted family man, an inspiring mentor for the local youth, and a strong-willed, but spiritually uplifting rock for those around him. Through a life of hardships and triumphs, Joe refuses to exist without purpose, live without passion, or die without cause. His life-long best friend and neighbor proclaims himself to be a willing apostle of Joe and his philosophies. Their frequent discussions over cigars and whiskey on Joe's porch cover a myriad of topics, from sports to race relations to the very nature of God. The rich and endearing characters of both men are revealed in their interactions and decades of book-worthy adventures together. However, Joe's iron-clad spirit is challenged when Willie, his young grandson, is diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor. Joe is heart-broken by the tragic news. Just when he thinks things can't get any worse, a peculiar stranger wanders onto his street. The odd white man behaves in a way that Joe and his friend have never seen, and Joe is immediately suspicious of his reasons for being there. The duo spend the day spying on the stranger. When they are finally forced to confront the mystery man, Joe learns the startling truth. The stranger has come for Willie and nothing can stop him from fulfilling his dreadful purpose. Joe will have to sow the seeds he has planted in his seventy years of a life well-lived if he hopes to save his grandson, but even that won't be enough. First, he'll have to face his greatest fear and battle the stranger against impossible odds. The Finger of God is an upbeat, engagingly brisk character study set on a street where two captivating men have spent their lives. Told from Joe's friend's light-heartedly positive perspective, it is an enthralling story that proves family is the greatest force in nature.
