Waking up barefoot in the woods with no memory of who he is or how he got there, a young man known only by the name "Stranger" sets off on a journey through the bizarre reality of World City—a place seemingly outside of time and space where the people speak in riddles, and the game is played by an entirely different set of rules. With each new character he meets, Stranger’s path takes him through the streets, the nightclubs, the churches, the prisons, the courts, and finally to the highest power in the world, where he must make a choice that will forever alter the fate of the city.

A.W. Trenholm’s vivid and extraordinary account of his journey to heaven far surpasses any other book in this genre. His descriptive detail of the people and places he encountered will fascinate anyone desiring to see behind the veil that shrouds our present dimension and be amazed at the incredible world that awaits us beyond.

We are a people of stories. We use them to entertain, to teach, and to instruct. Sometimes they warn us of the dangers of wandering too far into the woods, or they can be a detailed story to explain how magnificent landscapes came to be. Story has always been the way we pass time, the way we connect to each other, and most importantly, how we promote our values. Parables, especially, have a dual purpose. Not only do they keep us entertained, but they also make a point. Consider Aesop’s fables—tales of talking animals who learn valuable life lessons.
