Upside Down for Christ is a creative documentary designed to introduce preteens and teens to God. It is an inspiring text for Sunday schools, Christian private schools, and school libraries.
David Windsor, a Bible reader, is in his last year at Phelepia High while his sophomore sister, Andi, writes for the school paper. David prays for basketball success while Andi sets specific writing goals. Their sibling friction is heightened when David suffers under an abusive coach and determines to save lost souls of the world, beginning at school.
Outside forces interrupt their hopes and aspirations: a coach intent on winning at all cost, a dragon-lady English teacher who shares porno plots, an assistant principal who ridicules students' freedom of speech, along with anxious, nosy parents.
With his identity shattered, David strives to live as a spirit while Andi complains to her best friend, Daphne, about her busybody mom and accuses David of murdering her pet.
Why does God let bad things happen?
Will the injured teens overcome a spiteful coach, a scary English teacher, a vindictive assistant principal, a quirky psychiatrist, a drive-by debacle, a waterbed wrestle, and a meddlesome mom? Plus, other pop-up concerns: Do animals have souls? Are Jews the chosen people? Veggie diet versus gain-weight diet? Can you lose your salvation?
