Lyleith Awakening: Of God, Men, & Chocolate; An Otherworldly Battle of the Sexes
Description
Hilarious and wildly irreverent,
Lyleith Awakening: Of God, Men and Chocolate is a gigantic smoothie of debunked sacred and profane subjects. Religion, sex, witches, aliens, pedophilia in the Church, male chauvinism, marriage, feminism, magic, science, terrorism, modern society, even the intoxicating effect of chocolate on women aren’t safe from scrutiny and satire.
They are all lampooned and lumped into a heated vortex of emotion guaranteed to elicit a strong reaction from the reader. Underlying it all is the basic premise that all religions are man-made and flawed and, worse, that they have all deviated from their original principles. This novel is an insightful, provocative, and thoughtful exposé of all those myths and beliefs society is so proud of but is unaware of where they came from or why.
At the onset of the fourth century BCE soon to be Emperor Constantine, at this moment still a mere general, witnessed a heavenly sign that would lead him to unify the empire under an obscure Jewish sect.
What could it have been, this flaming cross descending from the heavens, that motivated him to turn the persecuted minority into the state religion of the Roman Empire?
And what did chocolate have to do with it all?
Centuries later in modern day Ireland, Sean O’Meara, was about to enter into an odyssey to unearth the unearthly truth of the matter.
Strong in The Faith, industrious, and genetically predisposed to sire children of the dominant sex of the universe, Sean thought he had life figured out.
Then it all came apart dragging him into an otherworldly battle of the sexes.
