Shards of Divinities

Ever since he was a child he always felt like a citizen of a different realm, but he never understood that feeling until that fateful night. Society expects him, under dire threat and consequences, to conform to its religious dogma. He wrestles with a gut-wrenching decision: If he speaks against his society's dogma, and reveals his vision, he will disappoint and anger his father. He will also cause punishing retribution against his family. But he is on fire for his new-found vision of the Source of Creation. What will he do?

He only feels secure in confiding in his friend and schoolmate Khaferu. This friendship further shapes and molds his vision of the divine. He slowly realizes that his new-found vision of the Source extends far beyond the vagaries of his own life. It is destined to bend the arc of history.

"Nissim opens his book with a sense of timelessness.....An enriching journey, this, one that refuses to focus on one direction of thought, preferring to embrace all
possibilities that often leap out of reach of our thought processes. Read this book
at a leisurely pace: it is a pillow for contemplation of all that we know and do
not know."- Grady Harp, HALL OF FAME TOP 100 REVIEWER, VINE VOICE
