Chris Carson was a rebellious teen who faced a choice: either join the army or spend time in jail. He chose the army and was sent to Viet Nam. Later his company was caught and faced a firing squad. They were all killed, of course, and only Chris woke up weeks later rolling off a bed in New York, having been shot in the forehead, in the back, and with three fingers missing. In the meantime, he had met Jesus, who sent him back with a mission. From then on, Chris was able to invent amazing technology while still being subject to all the trials and frustrations everyone faces.
