Page 5 - Billy Graham in Heaven

In the face of the fearsome recession of 2028, the renegade president all but disbands the federal government. Each state does its own wacky thing. This is a great and humorous vehicle.”
Rob Neufeld, book reviewer for the Asheville Citizen Times
Like his main protagonist, Jake Cortez, Branyon is a reporter and political activist. A student of history and an original thinker, he has produced a novel of ideas which grapple with Big Issues: war and peace, God and love, sex and death. ...
Significant portions are set in the near future, and some of the grabbier scenes involve such high tech developments as spectroms (the next development in virtual reality gadgets)—yet the book isn’t science fiction. Nor is it a historical novel. Rather, it is an excursion into the creator’s unique inner world where enchantment is embodied in the interweaving of history, fiction and everyday life... After tracing Branyon’s multi-leveled journey, readers may indeed see their home place (whether it’s Asheville, the United States, or the world) differently.
