Publisher's Summary

Dr. Jonah Michelakis is a university professor, a specialist in world religions. He has to find a way beyond his extensive book learning to explain the "big" questions of life to his grandson, Xander - a way that finally frees him from his own anger demons. Woven throughout the story is a comforting message to a troubled world.

Into a world of turmoil...A world burdened with suffering of every kind, with injustice, persecution, death...A world where the pressures of mass-scale conflict and human impact on earth are building...In a world where, at times, it can feel like darkness reigns and all is lost...Into this world comes Jonah and dares us to hope...dares us to ask ourselves, what if....

Jonah assumes he has all the answers but finally understands a powerful and very basic truth. "It's all about love, Jonah" - as his friend, Eldin, points out - agape love, not eros. But why, Xander asks, did Nana die? Wasn't she loved? And Jonah explains why...taking us - and his spell-bound university students - to the very beginning of pain and suffering, where it all started.
