Produktbeschreibung

This is a novel about a minister's struggle with his own faith. It's also a story about the battle within all of us to maintain consistency and integrity of character during life's toughest times. In the book, Pastor Nathan Simone becomes increasingly more skeptical of the strict rules of organized religion and questions "why he is playing this game." He enjoys helping others but feels more and more caught in the grips of a troubling ethical crisis fueled by church politics. To help him through his journey he sees visions, the spirits representing the battle between love and truth. The pastor believes that the inspiring visions come directly from God. God teaches him that our current conceptions of reality are far off from what really exists and that one needs to be infinitely humble and retain a vibrant wonder about life "like a young child gazing at the stars in the night sky." It slowly dawns on our main character that religion may be less divinely inspired and more of a creation of mankind. The story also contains a surprise conclusion that the reader may not expect.
