When God Stayed Over: An Atheist's Shared Moment With The Divine

What began as an unexpected visit becomes something far stranger—a prolonged stay, uninvited yet oddly welcome. In When God Stayed Over, an atheist wakes each morning to find divinity still lingering in the guest chair, sipping coffee and offering unsolicited reflections on mortality, love, cloud formations, and the unbearable intimacy of silence.

They don’t debate faith. They coexist in it—or perhaps in its absence. There are no miracles, no conversions, no heavens opening. Just two beings—one uncertain, one eternal—sharing space, sharing time, and avoiding the bigger questions with alarming grace.

In this hauntingly humorous sequel to When God Came Over, Ricky Firman delivers a meditation on companionship without belief, presence without proof, and the strange peace that arrives when neither side wins—and neither leaves.

Because sometimes, God doesn’t knock.

And sometimes, God doesn’t leave.

And sometimes, that’s the whole point.
