William Legrand becomes obsessed with searching for treasure after
being bitten by a bug appearing to be made of pure gold. He
notifies his closest friend, the narrator, telling him to
immediately come visit him at his home on Sullivan's Island in
South Carolina. Upon the narrator's arrival, Legrand informs him
that they are embarking upon a search for lost treasure along with
his African-American servant Jupiter. The narrator has intense
doubt and questions whether Legrand, who has recently lost his
fortune, has gone insane.
This book is not about religion, but rather about spirituality. It
is about how to find and know God-often in spite of religion. It
explains our need for spiritual nourishment in order to achieve
spiritual health. It explains how the lack of spiritual health can
lead to despair and spiritual death. It shows how we are taught not
to believe in God-the source of spiritual nourishment. In the
absence of an interactive relationship with God, we default to
inadequate worldly substitutes. There are those who believe that
what God wants from us is obedience through religious conformity.
In truth, he wants a personal relationship with each of us, not for
his benefit, but for ours. Unfortunately, as you'll come to see,
the United States in the present day is perhaps the most difficult
time and place in the history of human-kind for people to maintain
their spiritual health. The time will come when the only thing you
can take from this life is your relationship, if you have one, with
God. If this book holds no interest for you now, put it on a shelf
and pull it down when its relevance is inescapable.
