Do you question the world around you? Do you follow the dictates of a Holy Book, or your own conscience? The genesis for Jeffrey M. Hopkins writing The Gideons came during a dinner table conversation when he was in Seventh Grade. His younger brother asked their mother, "If there were aliens, would they also have a Bible with stories about Jesus in it?" This got Jeffrey Hopkins thinking and led him on a spiritual journey from belief to scientific skepticism. The Gideons is that journey told through a tale of classic science fiction. As a precocious child, Isaac grows up in a mysterious cult and runs afoul of their adult rites. He finds himself alone in a wilderness he cannot explain, meeting all sorts of denizens of the forest, future megacities, even out of this world citizens of the Multiverse. Told in an astute narrative tone, The Gideons will make you ask the question, that Isaac also asks, "What is my place in all of this?" Hopefully, you come up with an answer.
