Knowing God
by Donald Allen Kirch
Genre: Fantasy Romance

Nathan Andrews was a good man. It came as quite a surprise to him that he wanted to die.

After a "botched" attempt to commit suicide, Nathan is haunted by the mysterious image of a woman, during a Near Death Experience. She was "perfect" and everything a man would seek within a life partner. With the simple utterance "Go back!" she forever conquered his heart.

Leaving a mental hospital after that, Nathan runs into an odd woman named Amanda. She barely knows English, doesn't recognize the simple things, and finally confesses an all-important truth to him: She...is GOD!

After some subtle convincing of the claim, and confronted by a winged man named "Gabriel," Nathan accepts this fantastic reality. A reality that will change his world, and the world of Mankind...FOREVER!

"I...am...God."
Upon hearing these words, I did not know whether to laugh or cry. It was just my luck to find the woman of my dreams, and she was a fruit loop.
When Amanda made this statement, she closed her eyes and appeared to be somewhat embarrassed in the making of the claim.
She opened her eyes, looking up at me.
"You do not believe me," she challenged.
"It's not that," I sarcastically joked, totally annoyed. "Not every man gets a chance to play 'baseball' with the Almighty."
"Baseball?" Amanda's face projected confusion.
I pointed to her lips, explaining.
"First base."
Her breasts.
"Second base."
Her ass.
"Third base."
Between her lovely legs.
"Home plate."
Amanda nodded her head, understanding.
"So, that's what he was referring to."
"Who?"
"George Herman Ruth."
"Babe Ruth? The ball player?"
"Know him personally," Amanda beamed. "Never knew that he had been using the term as a mating ritual."
"I guess you would know him, seeing that you're God." I scoffed, rolling my eyes.
Amanda turned quiet, studying me. I could clearly see that my disbelief hurt her.
"You do not believe me," she challenged again.
I pointed at the hospital I had been checked into after my attempted suicide. Not far from where I first encountered Amanda crying on a park bench.
"You see that building?"
"Yes."
"There are over a dozen people in there who not only claim to be God but Jesus too! Not to mention Napoleon. One guy thinks he's Hitler, and he's Jewish."
"You do not believe," Amanda cried, her eyes incredibly sad.
"I believe in...something," I stated, stammering. "That winged-guy seemed able and willing to grab you. He seemed keen on taking you away from here. Why?"
"His name is Gabriel."
"Archangel Gabriel?" I gawked. "That...Gabriel?"
"The same."
"This is too weird!"
"What would you have me do?" Amanda asked, in tears.
I felt somewhat guilty for making the woman cry. Honestly, I held high feelings for her and did not want to do her any real harm. But, frankly, the woman was crazy.
"Tell me, if you are God, why did you come here? And...why as a woman?"
Amanda stopped crying, giving the question thought.
"Because of you."
"Me??"
Amanda nodded her head in what appeared honest confirmation. "You needed someone. You chose my form. I was there when you tried to take your life. You...needed me."
"I needed you?" I repeated.
"Yes."
"What about all the other billions of people on this planet?" I asked, somewhat skeptical. "Don't they need you too?"
"Hey," Amanda retorted. "I'm only God. One person at a time, you know?"
I became incredibly awestruck.
"This isn't happening."
"But, it is."
"You can't be...God," I yelled, not caring who could be listening.
"Would you mind keeping your voice down on this one?" Amanda cautioned, looking around. "Thank you, very much."
"Prove it!" I challenged.
"How?" Amanda asked.
"Do something that only God could do."
Amanda started to say something but paused. She gave the challenge some consideration.
Her face formed a wicked smile.

My twin daughters are going to love this read. Thanks so much for sharing.

James,
Thank you for the kind words. Fair Warning: There are some "adult" scenes within the confines of this book - not too bad - but I would not be a "responsible" writer If I did not pass that fact on. However, please feel free to ask me any questions you may have. All my Best!

I really like this beautiful and unique cover! Sounds like an excellent read!

Donald Allen Kirch link

1/14/2019 12:48:06 pm

Janet,
I LOVE the cover too! I told the artist to create a picture where all the elements formed into one beautiful woman's body. Although writers have no power over what cover art publishers use, I was happy that they took my suggestion to heart. All my best!

I found this part of the book interesting to read about; After a "botched" attempt to commit suicide, Nathan is haunted by the mysterious image of a woman, during a Near Death Experience. She was "perfect" and everything a man would seek within a life partner. With the simple utterance "Go back!" she forever conquered his heart.

June,
Happy to hear you found that part of the story intriguing. It is very hard for someone who has never thought about taking such an act, to get so deep into the part. This book was sincerely a "challenge" for me. Thank you for your thoughts on the matter. All my best!

I like the cover, especially the special effect with the clouds.

Andie,
I sincerely hope that you enjoy the book. I look forward to hearing from you about your opinion. All my best!

Sounds like a good book.

Donald Allen Kirch link

1/15/2019 02:54:35 pm

Rita,
I think so. As all writers do, I based a small percentage of my protagonist's journey, in this book, from events in my own life. So, this story is...personal. Hope you enjoy the book! All my Best!

Calvin

A vast theme, very bold of you to base it on that! Cheers on your tour.

Calvin,
Yes! My difficulty in doing this story were "legion," lol. I purposely did not state which city or time period it takes place in. I wanted each reader to be able to place our characters in THEIR city, within THEIR time and surroundings. Let me know what you think of the story once you get a chance to read it. All my best!

I really have to wonder how reliable of a narrator Nathan is after he leaves the mental hospital. But if it does him some good, then let him go on this journey with this "mysterious" Amanda as his saviour. This certainly sounds entertaining!

Amanda C

Hey Donald! I loved reading this book!! The plot was intriguing and and the cover art is immaculate I must say. It was very interesting to read about "Amanda" from a different perspective than that of the average person. This is definitely one of the most unique pieces of artwork I have encountered and look forward to the next!! Keep writing my friend!

Donald Allen Kirch link

1/15/2019 11:58:39 am

Amanda,
Thank you for the kind words. So happy that you enjoyed the book! I picked the names of my characters carefully. Nathan means "Gift from God" and was the name of the Biblical prophet who proclaimed the covenant between God and King David. His last name Andrews is from the apostle Andrew, who was one of the first to recognize Christ as the Son of God. Amanda means "Worthy of Love." What better name for The Almighty? All my Best!

Kim,
ONE character, in every single thing I write, is ALWAYS...me. In this story, I pictured myself as Nathan. However, he is "younger" and more "handsome" than I am. Thank you, for contacting me! I sincerely hope that you enjoy the book! All my Best! :-)
