From the author of the critically acclaimed, award-winning bestseller Ishmael and its sequel, My Ishmael, comes a powerful novel with one of the most profound spiritual testaments of our time

“A compelling ‘humantale’ that will unglue, stun, shock, and rearrange everything you’ve learned and assume about Western civilization and our future.”—Paul Hawken, author of The Ecology of Commerce

Father Jared Osborne has received an extraordinary assignment from his superiors: Investigate an itinerant preacher stirring up deep trouble in central Europe. His followers call him B, but his enemies say he’s something else: the Antichrist. However, the man Osborne tracks across a landscape of bars, cabarets, and seedy meeting halls is no blasphemous monster—though an earlier era would undoubtedly have rushed him to the burning stake. For B claims to be enunciating a gospel written not on any stone or parchment but in our very genes, opening up a spiritual direction for humanity that would have been unimaginable to any of the prophets or saviors of traditional religion. Pressed by his superiors for a judgement, Osborne is driven to penetrate B’s inner circle, where he soon finds himself an anguished collaborator in the dismantling of his own religious foundations.

More than a masterful novel of adventure and suspense, The Story of B is a rich source of compelling ideas from an author who challenges us to rethink our most cherished beliefs.

should be mandatory reading for all inhabitants of this planet. I thought Ishmael was mind opening, this is above and beyond, I will be teaching my children this and plan to read it many more times before I expire.

The Story of B" is a thought-provoking, insightful journey through the evolution of human consciousness. In this book, Daniel Quinn expertly blends science, history, and philosophy to paint a picture of humanity's path from primitive hunter-gatherers to the modern world we know today. The book is an eye-opening read that challenges long-held beliefs and asks us to reconsider our place in the world. I found myself continually drawn in, eager to explore each new idea presented. If you're looking for a thought-provoking read that will challenge your assumptions and expand your mind, "The Story of B" is a must-read. ---- Bro. Hank Wilson
