Semi-Faithful: More Coffee with John Heartbreak

Dr. Sharon Sloan, a reclusive birdwatcher and uncommonly dour Social Order Theorist, intends to gobsmack the TV evangelist Billy Cudrup and rough him up. The dullard John Heartbreak accompanies her to passively aggressively discuss rednecks, time, space, and parallel universes as they roll through the Ozarks Mountains on the way to Endtimes. Sloan and Heartbreak are pursued by retired serial killer Clara Jane Staley, who intends to stop them—by any means. The Patron Saint of gardeners, Fiacre, pops in from the 7th Century to cheer everyone on. We know he’s a saint because he wears a ‘Jesus is coming! Look busy!’ T-shirt. Herman Melville passes through, Stephen Hawking is misunderstood, and Watchman Nee tells us why Elmer’s Church of the Redeeming Unsullied and Perfectly Holy Underpants is redundant. Sloan has her hands full.
