Ecstasy on Hope Street
註釋The year is 2005 and Jason Daley has just moved his young family to Seattle, Washington to pastor Hope Street Church, a struggling congregation in the University District. Before the truck is even unpacked, he wonders if they¿ve made the right move. Does he have what it takes to turn the church around before the denomination closes it down?Gennady Fadov was too busy selling ecstasy and arranging to buy a new tablet press to concern himself with Hope Street Church. But then, to everyone¿s surprise, his bodyguard becomes a believer in Jesus Christ. Now it's personal. Time to drive the upstart church back inside its cute little building where it belongs.Up the road, music pounds from the Cloister, the underage dance club on 45th Street. Every night, lasers pulse, dry-ice swirls, and the dancers surrender to the trancelike beat that enters their heads and drives out the rest of the world.In the corner, just off the dance floor, Dr. Rhonda Brockhoff stands at a makeshift cooling station, wondering if she¿ll see any return on her investment with the Cloister patrons who come every night to dance, flirt, fight, and forget.There¿s no booze at the bar, but Michael Prentice, a teenage runaway, can get the dancers what they want. He can get anything ¿ except what he needs most: a way out.God¿s light shines even in the Cloister as he whispers through the pulsing beat and moves through the distracted crowd in this fast-paced story of obedience and God¿s loving provision.
