Balaam, the Gray Prophet (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781500190040)

The ancient biblical story of Balaam and his talking donkey unfolds once again in a distant apocalyptic future. Here, gaps are filled, details inserted, and spiritual mysteries revealed. The world finally broke, shattering into small autonomous units. Small tribal communities, not nations, composed the world's social order. Life was simplified, not by plan, but by necessity. The unbearable complexity and multitude of laws that governed nearly every aspect of human behavior were enforced by tyrannical, warring states. This situation eventually brought down the world. The social monster consumed itself. The wisdom humankind struggled so hard to win, was lost. Now the world must start anew and rediscover timeless truths. Ancient wisdom was once again new. In the circle of time, God used unlikely men and women to accomplish His ends. Balaam the prophet was one of them. He was a broken man, yet he was chosen to be an instrument of the Lord, furthering the divine plan in a decaying world. Balaam was God's instrument - despite himself.
