The Special Guest

Sharon McCarthy and her friends loved Mrs. Ruth, as did her parents and the parents of her friends. Mrs. Ruth was an elderly Jewish Christian women, who taught Bible Lessons to these children every Saturday afternoon. However, only Sam and Lydia McCarthy, who were Sharons parents, had ever met this lady. Sams coworker George Dickerson knew nothing about these lessons the lady was teaching and had to be encouraged to let his oldest son, Joey, attend. But eventually, about nine of Sharon and Joeys friends were involved in Mrs. Ruths home studies. These children and their families were unique because they truly loved their God, their parents, and Mrs. Ruth. But later on everyone, including the teacher would be introduced to Obadiah, as he called himself and who was a very strange young man indeed, yet they all learned to love him deeply. The parents and other adults, too, felt sad and devastated when he suddenly left them one evening in a very fantastically strange way. Who was this man, and where did he come from?
