Synopsis "Thom Jons"
A novel of the life, death, and resurrectionOf one who rejected life and demanded death. A rose is just another flower until you smell its fragrance and prick your finger on its thorn. What is life like beyond the veil of death? What might our guardian angels say to us as we live our lives on earth? What would resurrected family and friends tell us about their experience on the mansion worlds? In this age of alternative truth, materialism, delusional unreality, entrenched selfâ "interest, myopic political power, systemic racism, and dysfunctional family life, is it possible that a truly enhanced understanding of our eternal life beyond this planet might improve our experience in our current mortal lives? Thom Jons presents an examination of these questions from the expansive universal perspective presented by The Urantia Book. Based on the first 29 years of the 20th Century, Thom Jons presents a highly diverse of quite ordinary folks who experience racism, segregation, war, pandemic, prohibition, suffrage, clerical rape, lynching, gay marriage, and poverty. Machiventa Melchizedek, a pair of guardian angels, and the resurrected human characters comment on the unique mortal lives of these folks from a town in the American South. Thom Jons, a novel of the life, death, and resurrection of one who rejected life and demanded death presents a tragic human rejection of eternal life. It falls to the family, friends, and coworkers of Thom Jons to appeal to the universal authorities and to Thom to plead for the resurrection of this honorable yet very troubled human being. This book is their story. There are as many paths to the Portals of Paradise as there are Ascending Pilgrims going there. Each ascender's path is utterly unique. The World of the Cross was created for the embryonic mortal souls who are an essential part of our Divine Parent's Universal Family. Any human religious practice that believes that it has the "One and Only Truth" speaks more in arrogance than in the knowledge of universal truth.â "Machiventa Melchizedek (Chapter 23)
