Auto Bibliography :)
Realizing his beloved home world was doomed, a scientist named Jor-El sent his infant son Kal-El rocketing into the direction of our earth mere instants before Krypton exploded. The infant’s experimental starship ultimately crash landed in a Missouri cornfield, where it was discovered by a godly couple, Richard and Kathy Looten. Wanting a larger family, the Lootens took the infant in and raised him as their own, naming him Josh Looten, and imbuing him with the Word of God that defines him to this day. As he grew, the boy discovered that he possessed powers and abilities far beyond those of normal men. He can survive lock-ins despite his increasing age, challenge teenagers in eating competitions, and master the art of texting. Today disguised as a mild mannered youth pastor for Tunnel Hill Baptist Church, a great Elizabethtown church, he fights a never-ending battle for the Gospel of Jesus Christ!
