It is September 2018 in war-torn Afghanistan as Ali, a young wrestler, diligently completes his homework without any idea that a group of men have just bombed a wrestling facility in Kabul, killing his father and other athletes. A short time later, a college wrestling coach hears Ali's story and offers to adopt the boy and bring him to America to live in a small college town in Oregon.
Once he is renamed after the Olympic wrestling champion Dave Schultz, little Dave learns new wrestling skills from his father and the greatness of Jesus from his mother. After he gives his life to Christ, Dave is encouraged to listen to Channel 33, the code for the voice of God, and to remember the Christian mission of more temples. As Dave works on his wrestling techniques and focuses on becoming a state champion, he must face a variety of obstacles and challenges. Will his faith carry him through his trials and tribulations and allow him to spread the message of God's unconditional love to all who need it?
In this inspirational novel, an Afghan boy who is adopted by an American wrestling coach must rely on his faith to overcome many challenges and achieve his goals.
