A zealous preacher bent on destroying the bones of Jesus' brother. A lost ancestor trapped in an insane asylum, holding the key to happiness. A wild-haired prophet living in the Cave of John the Baptist. Are these the normal associates of a sheltered California boy? They are if you are Thomas Whidman, a seminarian who's stopped believing in God. 30-year-old Thomas Whidman has life where he wants it: a fascinating new girlfriend, a scholarship for excellence in ancient Greek, and a year left in seminary before a bright future as a progressive pastor. But life has other plans. Soon dark questions plague Thomas that can't be explained by the religion he's grown up with. A horrible tragedy in Guatemala makes Thomas doubt a loving God, and his faith in family crumbles when he discovers his trusted uncle has been hiding a disturbing ancestor for years. Confused and despairing, Thomas is catapulted into a new reality when he encounters the Society of Leaven, an ancient sect of Jesus-loving radicals who've been subverting Empire and making holy mischief for two thousand years. Trusting his guide Paloma a Zen meditation teacher who is far more than he seems. Thomas jumps in with these desert hermits, savvy ex-cons and joyful anarchists, all irresistible revolutionaries who practice a Way he never heard about in Sunday School. The Secrets of Leaven is a wild hope for a tame world--a spiritual roller-coaster that skewers everything we think we know about authentic Christianity, social change, and human potential. Join Thomas on a post-modern quest for truth that leads him to crash a beggar's banquet in Portland, hunt for a damned priest through the barrios of South Tucson, and wrest new life from a dead madman convinced about the end of the world.
