The Night of Transition

He stunned me with the announcement: "Now I wish to unveil to your very eyes the heart of the Gospel, the most ignored and hidden mystery of the Return, the Evangel's best kept secret. Anyone who has access to this knowledge already has one foot in the sacred threshold of paradise, his heart ready for that one spark to set it ablaze with the sublime vision of the Rapture."

Following the disappointment experienced during much of the twentieth century by over-zealous believers in their expectation of the return of their Lord, Jesus Christ, the gaze of many a worshipper shifts to the approaching millennium as the most likely occasion for the Second Coming.

Amongst them is our pilgrim, who sets out, in the company of a large congregation of worshippers, fellow members of a doomsday cult, on an intriguing journey of discovery—from the shores of his homeland Ghana, past conservative Muslim communities in western Africa, across the shimmering desert sands of the Sahara, to the edge of the Holy Land—to experience "the Rapture" of the saints, at the very start of the millennium.

Written with humour, The Night of Transition is a thought-provoking narrative of some 180 pages.
