Produktbeschreibung
A busy man receives a call from his mother one day, beckoning him to visit. Upon his arrival, she admits that she feels ill, but she cannot clarify the symptoms or source. She begins to speak of an old memory of an ancient book, discovered by her father and hidden in the attic. Recovering the book, she gives it to her son-whose curiosity gets the best of him. The man descends into the story told by this ancient book. According to the translator, the tales it contains occurred before the birth of Jesus Christ. The stories are the firsthand accounts of five scribes who witnessed a temple servant whose life was anything but sinless. The servant's name was Tor. Many days of Tor's life existed within the space of the temple's Holy of Holies, where he kept watch over the altars and idols. Tor had his doubts, however-some of the same doubts we have today. Who is God? What does He want from us, and why are we here? It takes a long journey, filled with strife, for Tor to discover his own answers, in a story that proves that, no matter how devout he may be, no man is perfect.
