This is a story about God's Story. It has a hero, villain, and mentor. There are sidekicks to help and a traitor to deceive. The reader is carried over eons of time as the Universe came into being. Then, thousands of years are examined when mankind struggled to find the reasons for life and purpose. The text is written in a conversational tone; there are neither doctrines or creeds to "prove" nor denominational axes to grind...kinda like your Granddaddy talking. Like all good stories, this one ends with a promise of an unending and joyous future .
