Fiction, allegory. Story of proud, egotistical businessman Tony Spencer who falls into a coma after collapsing from a brain tumor and hemorrhage. In that state he encounters Jack (C. S. Lewis) and then the Trinity in various forms who guides him to confront his failures and the hurt he has caused others by his choices as well as the grief he has buried deep within. He is enabled to see through the eyes of people from various races, ethnicities and disabilities to understand how they think and feel and find healing for himself. He discovers God is always waiting to meet him and forgive and restore him from his deep despair and self-loathing if he will ask and believe. Forest Books. B6*size, 400 pp.
