"Old Jeep"
For one man, life can easily be summed up with two simple words: money and influence.
For another, life is a sum of its missing parts—friends and a wife whose lives were cut too short.
The paths of these men will cross, and one will present the other with what sounds like a simple question—a question that will ultimately change both of their lives forever: "Are you the one?"

Old Jeep is a WWII novel about the pain-filled memories of one man—Gaylord "Jeep" Patterson—who, in the aftermath of his experiences in Europe, fought desperately to bury and forget each and every one of them. He succeeded ... until one fateful day in 2010, when he lost the love of his life—his war bride, Bella.
Compelled by years of Bella's encouragement to remember the friends he lost during the war, he spends the waning years of his life trying to fulfill her desire. Now, Gaylord must quickly identify the specific person who is to hear the emotional, first-time telling of his friends' stories before he, too, dies.

Hi, Franklin, thanks for the word on "Iscariot." I'd like to recommend "Leonardo and the Last Supper." It's the story of how the artist came to make that groundbreaking painting. It's got respectful mention of Jesus, the Gospel stories of the Last Supper, and how Judas was portrayed in the painting. I don't have a question. I hope that's okay with you and with Goodreads?
