When his prayers go unanswered and Vivian dies in childbirth, journalist Ethan Tellinger curses God, turning his back on a life of faith. Five years later, their son is diagnosed with a terminal disease and given a few months left to live. Desperate to find a cure, Ethan follows up on an anonymous tip of a miracle worker living in a Palestinian refugee camp. To the locals he is known as the Forever Man, but when Ethan arrives in Jenin on the auspices of a human interest story, he is shocked to discover the mysterious refugee claims to be the one and only Jesus of Nazareth, the Son of God, newly returned to Earth from Heaven to redeem the world.
Aware of his doubt, the Forever Man invites Ethan to follow him for a year. With his son dying and the world struggling to reconcile an existence living with God in the flesh, Ethan witnesses firsthand the Forever Man's astonishing power and love for people. Ethan is certain he knows the Forever Man's true identity until one day he is led to a place he never wanted to return...the Garden of the Sun Singer.
