Rain is a Preject, the world’s first preject novel, follows the transformation of Rain Reynolds, a New York City public school legend, from immortal basketball icon to enlightened spiritual emissary. And, as usual, the way to enlightenment goes straight through the dark.
“I want people to know that investing in the emotional life of a child is worth it,” explains Earl Middleton, the author of Rain is a Preject, and founder of Prejects.org. “In our culture, family is often depicted as a neat little one-size-fits-all box wherein every parent effectively loves and cares for his/her child. In this story, the main character confronts painful family disconnection, trudges through many of life’s sewers as a result of it, and eventually comes out on the other side with a tested, relevant set of convictions, and a yearning to help himself and others become the parents and children God designed them to be.”
The book tackles a previously unnamed condition now called prejection, which afflicts an estimated one billion people worldwide. “A preject is a parental reject,” Middleton points out. “We come from all walks of life. Every color, creed, nation, language, gender & culture is represented in the preject community, which has suffered in silent anonymity until now. This book offers the good news to prejects that God knows our story, Jesus feels our pain, and has sent His word to heal us and proclaim full acceptance in the Beloved.”
