Description

How many preachers, pastors and priests rise up to the pulpit on a Sunday morning proclaiming that God has spoken to them, ever so clearly, giving them the message that they are called to do this or do that? How easy it is to automatically dismiss them all and everything they say. Yet, is not the vexing problem that, among all the ever so righteous proclamations, one of them might just be telling the truth? Drama, the story's protagonist, struggles with just this question in his own life. God has spoken to him. Or was it merely a dream? It would have been easier if it had been a dream. But then things happen in his life, and repeat, and repeat, each time affirming the call of God to him was real. He finally submits, and accepts that the Sign of Jonah has been placed on him. Now confident in his calling, he begins the path that has been laid out before him, convinced that he knows the way forward, that he understands his place in God's plan. And then everything goes astray. The story takes place in the distant future. The few remaining brothers of the Company of Disciples, Drama's brothers, the remnants of the Seventy, agonize over Drama's call as they face the possibility that the age of the Church is at an end. What are they to do? Are they abandoned by God and destined to be the last of the long line of the faithful? Is there still a chance to turn things around? Could it be possible Drama has brought them the truth of God's call to them? Who would deny the Company its hope or Drama his courage? But, there have always been those who would deny us our faith and our God. More fearsome still are those who, in the service of the Dark Lord, have their own plans for us. With a trusted brother Drama will go forward. Yet, how is he to tell which bend in the path is to heaven, and which is to hell? We are supposed to be able to tell heaven from hell, aren't we?
