On the Road to Paradise — M.T. Jones

Angel Waters Is Back
Why should a heavily followed evangelical priest feel threatened by a rock and roll singer? Why would a new federal law be considered that outlaws any religion that doesn't fit the "mainstream"? Is America still the land of the free, where freedom of religion was one of the most important things to our forefathers? In M.T. Jones' new book, "On the Road to Paradise," he examines those very questions. Angel Waters is back in book two of the Songs of Galileo series, but don't worry if you haven't read the first one - you can pick up the story here and take a look at the potential for America to lose its most precious freedom.
Angel Waters is back on stage, back in the recording studio and back to receiving messages from God. His fans can't get enough, his friends and wife are happy with his return to his regular, wild and wonderful life, and the fundamentalist Christians are going crazy with disbelief that God would speak to a rock star instead of one of them. This threat to their very existence is the main point of the story. Why should they feel threatened by what is a confirmation of God's existence?
Throughout the book we see how some people will stop at nothing to capitalize upon the needs of others. Young Penny is suckered into making money for the Church of God's Angels, a church supposedly founded on the messages Angel receives from God, but in reality is founded on greed. We see a televangelist who gets a little too caught up in his own importance and in the end threatens the most important of America's freedoms. Readers also bear witness to the trouble of being so famous that everyone you meet could turn out to be your worst enemy.
The characters in "On the Road to Paradise" are full of life and diversity and the story is full of twists and turns that will keep readers turning pages. The messages here are powerful.from Angel's visions, Penny's growth, the lyrics of a song, and the blaring voices of newspaper writers and television preachers. The book is mind altering if readers allow it, sending its own message that I personally hope the world hears. Wrapped up in a great read, the total package is sure to be a fantastic if not controversial hit.
