Gordie Shue: 2 books

Terminal-cancer patient Julian Park doesn’t believe in God. But when the friend beside him gets a clean bill of health, and Julian’s nurse keeps trying to convert him, he checks himself out of the hospital and calls on these two to celebrate his “release.” When they join him in a nearby coffee shop, however, all three are in for an eternal surprise.

Dallas is so ready to board the plane taking him to university that he can hardly bear waiting with his father. But maybe his dad has one more gift to share.
