Techno troubleshooter Tony Ricci’s latest challenge is to debug the computers at the marketing firm of Rodrigo and Associates. Pages of Biblical text have been appearing on every terminal throughout the network—disrupting the staff and costing the company a lot of time and work. But he’s astonished to discover the religious text tells the story of St. Vidicon of Cathode, who protects people from the consequences of Finagle’s General Principle and its most famous corollary, Murphy’s Law. Then his attempt to exorcise the virus places him face-to-face with the blessed saint. Father Vidicon needs a disciple to aid him in answering prayers, solving problems, and averting disasters across the globe. IN exchange, the Saint will give Tony some much-needed help with his love life. Now Tony’s providing tech support for a world in peril. And it’s going to take more than rebooting to fix this kind of system failure. “Stasheff has a knack for crafting a lighthearted, action-filled tale.”—Library Journal

This is a fun and interesting book to read. Mrs. Swinton covered the typical events in a biography, from Thomas S. Monson's ancestry through his childhood and then into his life as a general authority. However, the life she followed is so remarkable that the book was hard to put down. It is filled with uncountable stories, some short, some lengthy, that give the reader faith and hope. A choice line reveals that immediately after Thomas S. Monson's call to the apostleship, he went home and mowed the lawn. A majestic chapter deals with Elder Monson's years of service with the East Germans. A progressive thread is the passing of senior apostles, interlaced with the fact that Tom Monson was seventeen years younger than the next junior apostle, Gordon B. Hinckley. Many details in the book reveal that Thomas S. Monson was a humble man, led by the Lord to perform acts of greatness, and yet his favorite breakfast is Wheaties. Elder Monson served in the highest councils of the LDS Church for thirty-six years, gaining tremendous experience and perspective, before being sustained as president.
