The first half of this two part book tells the story of an
ordinary boy enriched by his mother's faith yet torn apart by a
bitter divorce. Maintaining his religious underpinnings, Mark
struggles through the divorce and graduates from college with a
degree in finance. This takes him to the Chicago Mercantile
Exchange where he makes millions of dollars, marries his wife and
retires at the age of 36. Shortly after, Mark received a Master's
degree in Theology setting the foundation for the remainder of his
life. The first half of the book ends with the death his forth
child, Kevin, which becomes the catalyst for a tremendous spiritual
conversion.
The second half of the book walks the reader through that
conversion documenting the steps taken to accomplish it. A
discussion of physics is used to set up a foundation for further
explanations in theology. This discussion results in a need to
re-evaluate the meaning of Mark 8:29 when Jesus asks: "Who do you
say that I am?" The result is a shift from orthodox religion to a
focus on Sophian Gnosticism. Time is spent focusing on Kabbalah and
The Tree of Life, and on a special sign Mark created called the
"Sign of the Tree." Kabbalistic teachings on reincarnation and
suffering are explored. Mark applies these teachings to his life by
leaving the material world behind, going to work at a homeless
shelter, and becoming a hospice volunteer.
