The idea for this novel was born in the year 2000. The actual manuscript was started on August 13, 2001, almost a month to the day before 9/11/2001. This book is prophetic. Recently, when the Gainesville, Florida, pastor Terry Jones burned a Koran, it was as if Pastor Clayton Harris, Daniel's father in the novel, had come alive. In the ten years since this book was published, despite several wars and the deaths of tens of thousands of people, almost nothing has changed. The author has priced this book to allow for everyone on earth to read it. They should.
