"The Oxbow Revelation" may have you questioning your own belief system on spirituality and opening your eyes to a new twist on how the psychology of reality can foster our social harmony and help us grow. We find Paul, a young teen who is on the fringe of a spiritual quest for truth and a better understanding of religion. He appears to be your normal teen growing up in the seventies as he encounters fast cars, fast girls, and partying with his buddies. However, this teen also encounters some very strange occurrences which teeter on the edge of paranormal! He works at a gas station where his partner Chang is a very mysterious Chinese man who seems to be Paul’s Yoda. He introduces Paul to Taoism which causes them to search and discover how this old religion has many beliefs that parallel the Bible. Together they examine and discover hidden messages in the Bible. Both of them get engaged on a quest to find the deeper meaning of religions and how realism has influence on our values. The ending will surprise you as this new found spiritual understanding has Paul emerging as a spiritual changeling. This book definitely had me examining my own belief systems about realism.
Paul Gibson’s use of creative dialogue between Paul and Chang makes you feel as though you are right there engaged in the conversations. This is what makes it real! It was such a smooth read and I loved the way Gibson portrayed Paul as a character who is so believable. I was also a teen during the seventies and really identified with car cruising and the social scene. Anyone who is looking for enlightenment written in a most creative format will love this book!
