Brent Albertson spent nearly four years in a comatose then catatonic state as a result of a brutal physical beating he received for a discretion he didn't commit. His spirit during this time resided in a place where spirits of people in similar states go to await their eventual destinations-a place called the Waiting Room.After emerging from his catatonic state, in addition to spreading the word about the Waiting Room and what this means for believers everywhere, Brent enjoys a blessed career in music as a college professor and performer, until his career as a violinist is tragically ended due to a car accident that renders him unable to play the violin again.Brent is called by God to enter the ministry and enjoys a second career as a Lutheran pastor, eventually earning a twice-weekly spot on a radio program, and then becoming a well-known pastor and televangelist throughout the United States and in twenty-six other countries. In his sixty-fifth year of life, Brent, who has earned the moniker "e;Father Forgiveness"e; for the message he brings concerning God's love, mercy, and forgiveness, is suddenly convicted by God to preach an entirely different message: a message he knows will not resonate well with many people-even Christians.Despite the possibility of losing congregational members, and the personal danger to both him and his family, Brent cannot, will not, and does not, disobey God.
