The Sixth Day

Have you ever asked yourself who bring more value to the world, animals or people? "The Sixth Day" is the pivotal day in history, the day God almost quit. It's a feel good story that you will not want to put down, a story about one day in the life of five brothers and a strange hobo who reveals the secret of creation.

Abandoned by deadbeat parents, each boy has a special gift. The oldest, Sam is a boxer who makes the best pancakes in the world. Peter is the best reader in the world, although he owns but a single book. Jimmy is the best pickpocket in the world with his own, unique sense of morality. Robert is the best fisherman in the world whose buckteeth enhance his friendly demeanor, and Flap Jack is the most inquisitive boy in the world who asks all the right questions.

The day of Sam's fight with The Polish Dropper, Flap Jack and Robert befriend a luckless wanderer and bring him home for supper. When Sam and Jimmy leave for the big fight at the Armory, Peter reads a special story to his little brothers, and the old hobo's commentary puts Peter's story and all of life into proper perspective.

God creates the perfect world, but he knows what's coming when he creates man. Aware of humankind's faults and shortcomings, he prepares a path to redemption strengthened by unconditional love and commitment to what is right.

The story is as quirky as its title. You will read it once, then twice, and it will continue to beckon from your bookcase.
