"A
Secret of the Universe is a warm and inspiring story that offers a
far deeper message than the other 'Secret' book so popular these days,
but this secret is based in reality, always a good idea if you live in
this universe and not some other! Read A Secret of the Universe and be prepared to be moved."

A Secret of the Universe: A Story of
Love, Loss, and the Discovery of an Eternal Truth is Stephen
Gibson's epic work of religious fiction, for which the high concept is
best described as
Left Behind meets
The End of Faith,
meets
Crash. This is the story of two high-school pals from
the Midwest for whom a personal tragedy sets in motion a journey of
inquiry that spans a lifetime of cruel and glorious twists, and
culminates in an astonishing discovery. Ian wants answers his faith can’t provide, so
he abandons traditional religion and its magic, mysticism, and
supernaturalism, turning instead to science and reason. Bill’s path has
become that of a devoted Christian who sees the bountiful harvest that
can be achieved through spirituality and faith. When profound
revelations lead each friend to uncover shocking historical “secrets” in
support of his own worldview, their odyssey plays out on a global stage,
with tragic consequences. Only by embracing the inherent mystery and
pain of their quest do Ian and Bill make the discovery that really
matters—a genuine secret of the universe.
Though fiction, A Secret of the Universe is a
timely, intelligible synthesis of religious scholarship and
discourse—meticulously researched and footnoted—wrapped in a poignant story
about God, terrorism, culture wars, and the origins of our beliefs.
 "Steve Gibson has given a wholly
original spin to the age-old saga of the ‘hero’s journey’ which we all
must face in one way or another. This is a timely tale with profundities
and depths far beyond the scope of most—if not all—first novels. A must
read!"
--Tom Harpur, Best-selling
author of The Pagan Christ, journalist and former Rhodes Scholar
"A fine and welcome novel of ideas on
some of today's most pressing issues, well and thoughtfully written."
-- Earl Doherty, author of The
Jesus Puzzle and Challenging the Verdict
