Description:

A spiritual thriller by the bestselling author of *Golf in the Kingdom*

As publisher, writer, and researcher, Darwin Fall has gathered a wide range of evidence for human nature’s supernormal capacities—but his photographs and case stories can only take him so far. He needs living proof. So when a mysterious man named Jacob Atabet disturbs morning mass at a Catholic church in his neighborhood, Fall thinks he may have found just what he’s looking for, setting in motion a quest that leads him to push beyond the limits of his own imagination.

Defying categorization, Michael Murphy artfully maneuvers through the shoals of fiction, science, self-knowledge, and invention.

From Library Journal

A writer's search for proof of spiritual and psychic miracles leads him to the mysterious figure known as Jacob Atabet and involves him in a heady quest to pierce the barriers between matter and spirit. Murphy's prose bears eloquent testimony to this euphoric exploration of inner space. Recommended where metaphysical sf is popular. JC
