Publisher's Summary
When facing the impossible, will you believe? Storm clouds gather over a small Michigan town. As thunder shakes the sky, the lights inside St. Thomas Church flicker...and then go out. All is black until a thick bolt of lightning slices the sky, striking the church’s large wooden cross - leaving it ablaze and splintered in two. When the storm ends, the search for answers begins. James Lindy, the church’s blind minister, wonders how his small congregation can repair the cross and keep their faith in the midst of adversity. And he hears the words “only believe.” Macey Lewis, the town’s brilliant young oncologist, is drawn to Alex, a young boy who’s recently been diagnosed with an aggressive leukemia. She puts her hope in modern medicine - yet is challenged to “only believe.” And Alex’s single mom, who has given everything she can to her boy, is pleading with God to know the reason this is happening...to save her son. But she only hears silence and wonders how she can possibly “only believe.” The Reason is a milestone debut novel, opening with a thunderbolt and never letting up as it introduces us to everyday characters who are wrestling with the questions: Where is God when bad things happen? And does God ignore the prayers of the faithful? The answer each character receives will astound listeners while offering an unforgettable call to hope, to change, to...only believe.

"Wonderful, inspirational!"
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?It was a very good story line that drew you in from the very beginning. I got so caught up in the lives of the characters and the events that I could not put my iPod away. It was an emotional roller coaster and I cried right along with them. You dont know the ending until the END. I like that about a story. Very, very good.
Who was your favorite character and why?They were all special in their own way but the construction worker (carpenter) was my favorite. Then the little boy!
Have you listened to any of Johnny Heller’s other performances before? How does this one compare?No
If you could take any character from The Reason out to dinner, who would it be and why?The carpenter, just to be in his company.
Any additional comments?I would recommend this to anyone that is looking for a good book with an uplifring message. You came away just feeling good.

What does Johnny Heller bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?The diiferent voices and emotion he displays helped bring the book alive.
