By 2028 on Earth, the U.S. has returned almost all power to the states and each state expresses its own whacky or profound ideals.

Produktbeschreibung
Perfect for Billy Graham lovers and loathers, Billy Graham's Glorious Jam is a sci-fi novel a la Vonnegut, recounting the futuristic history of amorous peace activists, modern American religion, and the destiny of humanity. By 2028 on Earth, the U.S. has returned almost all power to the states and each state expresses its own whacky or profound ideals. South Carolina becomes a Christian theocracy and declares that having sex in any way other than in marriage-sanctified, heterosexual missionary-style monogamy is a capital offense. While in New York, "In God we Trust" is removed from all money, and a Jewish star, a Muslim star and crescent, a laughing Buddha, a Hindu Ganesh, and a Wiccan Pentacle are constructed beside all existing Christian crosses. Advances in technology have made reality and holographic projections almost indistinguishable with apps such as the All or Nothing Dating Service and The Heaven and Hell Cathedral. Meanwhile in actual Heaven, Billy Graham whimsically relives his life and the life of the nation - all while hosting a host of historical characters stretching from the Ayatollah Khomeini to Christopher Hitchens, Eli Manning to John Wayne, and Karl Marx to Charlie's Angels. For recreation, the Reverend plays intergalactic golf games that will wow golf loathers and lovers. Will American's become one nation again at the Reconstitution Convention? Will lonely Jake ever get to date the capricious Cathy? And will Heaven and Earth become cantankerously one or remain harmoniously separate? Answer these and other exciting questions by buying Billy Graham's Glorious Jam now, or go to www.BranyonsUltimateFreethinking.com to read free chapters of this hilarious and heartwarming book.

Autorenporträt
Bill Branyon is a free-lance historian who has written three books: Asheville NC, circa 2,000 AD - a historical faction about Asheville politics and culture; and the nonfiction book, Liberating Liberals: a political synthesis of Nietzsche and Jesus, Vonnegut and Marx (Groucho, not Karl) and Gandhi and Machiavelli; and now the new Billy Graham's Glorious Jam. For the last twenty years Bill has been a staff reporter and editorialist for Asheville's liberal weekly, the "Mountain Xpress." He has a Masters degree in history from WCU, and a BA in history from Vanderbilt. He's run for mayor, walked for peace, and is a hyper-activist - when not lazily lounging.
