<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Furthering the intellectual and environmental message first proffered in the award-winning book, "Ishmael, The Story of B" tells the story of Jared Osborne, a priest sent on a mission to investigate an itinerant preacher whose radical speeches are attracting a growing number of followers. "Compelling".--Paul Hawken, author of "The Ecology of Commerce".<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>From the author of the critically acclaimed, award-winning bestseller <i>Ishmael </i>and its sequel, <i>My Ishmael, </i>comes a powerful novel with one of the most profound spiritual testaments of our time</b><br><b> </b><br><b>"A compelling 'humantale' that will unglue, stun, shock, and rearrange everything you've learned and assume about Western civilization and our future."--Paul Hawken, author of <i>The Ecology of Commerce</i></b><br><b><i> </i></b><br>Father Jared Osborne has received an extraordinary assignment from his superiors: Investigate an itinerant preacher stirring up deep trouble in central Europe. His followers call him B, but his enemies say he's something else: the Antichrist. However, the man Osborne tracks across a landscape of bars, cabarets, and seedy meeting halls is no blasphemous monster--though an earlier era would undoubtedly have rushed him to the burning stake. For B claims to be enunciating a gospel written not on any stone or parchment but in our very genes, opening up a spiritual direction for humanity that would have been unimaginable to any of the prophets or saviors of traditional religion. Pressed by his superiors for a judgement, Osborne is driven to penetrate B's inner circle, where he soon finds himself an anguished collaborator in the dismantling of his own religious foundations. <p/>More than a masterful novel of adventure and suspense, <i>The Story of B </i>is a rich source of compelling ideas from an author who challenges us to rethink our most cherished beliefs. <p/><b>Explore Daniel Quinn's spiritual <i>Ishmael </i>trilogy: </b><br>ISHMAEL - MY ISHMAEL - THE STORY OF B<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Daniel Quinn</b> grew up in Omaha, Nebraska, and studied at St. Louis University, the University of Vienna, and Loyola University of Chicago.
