Revelation

by Peggy Payne 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 he faces a dilemma in his marriage, his church, his conscience and his soul. Revelation (title in italics) is the story of this 38 year-old minister ? attractive but socially awkward, happily married but tempted, introverted, a seeker whose impulse is to try to escape the very thing he has been seeking.
