a thinking story about the impact of faith
Shipley's "The Messenger" tells the story of a non-believer speaking in tongues, and how this affects the faith and actions of those around him.
The speaker is freshman senator John Peters, and soon the reader meets those who are impacted: his assistant and his wife, who are able to grow spiritually; a preacher and a priest who try to use the "miracle" to further themselves and their churches; a governor who is jealous of Peters' popularity; bad guys and members of a secret society who want to silence his voice; and Peters himself, who struggles to find himself amidst the unwanted fame.
Shipley tells a good story. His characters are strong, conflicted, and believable. The ending, while not traditional, is satisfying, and it provides the reader the opportunity to ponder the question of whether Peters' message has any personal relevance.
I look forward to reading future books from Shipley.
