A Mental and Spiritual Journey

Father Jared Osborne's superiors have given him an amazing task: look into a traveling preacher who is causing major problems in central Europe. His detractors claim he is the Antichrist, while his supporters label him as B. Though a previous period would surely have hurried him to the burning stake, the guy Osborne stalks throughout a terrain of saloons, cabarets, and dingy meeting rooms is by no means a blasphemous monster. Because B says he is presenting a gospel that is inscribed in our DNA, not on any stone or parchment, providing mankind with a spiritual path that would have seemed unthinkable to any of the prophets or saviors of conventional religion. Osborne is forced to enter B's inner circle after being pressured by his superiors to provide a decision. There, he quickly discovers that B is an agonizing accomplice in the destruction of his own religious beliefs. The Story of B is more than just a brilliant work of adventure and suspense—it's a treasure trove of thought-provoking concepts from a writer who forces us to reconsider some of our most held convictions.
