Revelation
In the North Carolina college town of Chapel Hill, a cool-headed, intellectual minister is grilling shish kebabs in his backyard when he hears God speak to him out loud. But neither he nor most of his congregation believe in a God who does such a thing. So this man, Swain Hammond, faces the decision of whether to risk his position by going public about what happened...or keep secret the very thing his career is supposedly devoted to teaching.
