In high school, Bill Rieser had a thunderous slam dunk and an intimidating game that humiliated opponents and left college coaches salivating. His sky-high leaps seemed miraculous for an Italian boy raised in East Harlem, and he was called “White Jesus.” Despite his success, life for Bill was not a slam dunk. Abused and neglected, he was angry with God and everyone else. Bill’s life went from bad to worse until the real Jesus who changed his life. His story is a compelling, witty and honest account of his journey to the throne of God.
