If you heard the voice of God, would you answer? Cormick Proffitt has it all—a prestigious position as head of psychiatric medicine, an uptown office, a sleek Mercedes Benz. But when a patient miraculously survives a fatal accident, and asks for Cormick by name, his perfect life suddenly begins to crumble. Angelo, the patient, insists that he’s been sent him to Cormick, and that they must travel to Santa Fe to answer God’s call. Despite his skepticism, Cormick is swayed by an inexplicable series of events, and soon finds himself traveling with four strangers, all drawn by the same calling, to the desert of Northern New Mexico. There, caught in the mystery of the Supreme Being, they face long-buried demons as they seek the undeniable truth on their journey to destiny.
I approached this book with some misgivings. As an atheist, the God emphasis was a bit off-putting. I was reading something else when the book was delivered to me, and I don’t like reading more than one book at a time. Curiosity made me open it for a quick glance. Thirty pages later, I was hooked. Written with humor and profound insight into human nature, the characters immediately took on life. Following them on their journey to truth was a personal odyssey. The message is delivered in a smooth yet entertaining narrative. And the message is mindful and powerful.
I have questions for the author, not so much about the story itself, but about where in his soul the story was developed. I hope there are more books to come.
