The town of Auburn was always normal, to say the least. True, the people there weren't really a "community", but they never noticed...until a stranger named Joshua rolled into town one morning.
In small ways, Joshua begins to help out around the town--helping a teen learn to play the guitar, helping to save a marriage in crisis, or teaching a bumbling priest how to speak about faith. An old Baptist church that came down in a storm is his next big project. With help from stuttering Theo who dreams of being a preacher, he brings the town together to restore the old building, and the whole town truly becomes a united community.
This attracts the attention of Father Tordone, who is bitter over losing a position in the Vatican. When the mysterious Joshua begins to show up in two places at once and miraculously cures a blind woman, Father Tordone believes that he is a false prophet trying to cheat people.
When his next huge miracle--reviving Theo from death after he falls from the roof of the newly completed church--overwhelms the town, Father Tordone seeks out an official condemnation from the Vatican. But Joshua melts his icy heart, and the reformed Father becomes a Vatican member.
Joshua sees the Pope himself and reveals himself as Jesus. After his meeting, Joshua leaves--but the people of Auburn have had their dreams fulfilled and their happiness increased.
