Inhaltsangabe
"Another Messiah" is an intriguing new novel set in the real world of today...with all its problems of war, poverty and environmental destruction. A girl is born near Jerusalem who has withered legs and an inability to speak more than one word at a time. She is an object of pity, but when she reaches the age of seven, she begins to solve our world's problems one by one.
She soon evidences the passions and healing powers of Jesus, the wisdom of Buddha and the strength of Moses and Mohammed.
With an eclectic collection of characters, many of them recognizable, "Another Messiah" takes readers on a fast-moving adventure through many parts of the world in a style that is fun, insighful, provocative and uplifting.
Part philosophy, politics, science fiction and story-telling, it should be read by anyone who cares about our planet or who enjoys a good tale.
