Christopher Staley

Young Griston Reeves has discovered the secret of enlightenment, the knowledge that God loves him just a little bit more than He loves everybody else. And he wants to share the method with you. Unfortunately, while the trick might be easy to do, it is much more difficult to explain. Thus Griston endeavors to tell the story of how he came upon the secret, starting with his childhood in Florida, the disappearance of his father and his adoption by his Aunt Barbara, through his discovery of a hidden world perpendicular to our own and his alter-ego Red Yen, and the discoveries and adventures that follow. Told in the form of twenty-seven vignettes, which range from the mystical to the biographical to the fantastical, Griston approaches the task of enlightening the reader from various angles, the novel can be approached in one of three ways. Read from beginning to end, as a single narrative, it is the story of Griston Reeve's spiritual journey and the unexpected consequences of the path he chooses when he runs away from his Aunt Barbara's house and hops on a bus to Orlando, Florida. Looked at as a collection of separate teachings, the reader may pick and choose amongst them, reading the ones whose message and style speaks most to him or her. Finally, by following the directions given in the appendix, along with a special deck of fortune-telling cards (which can either be fashioned by the reader according to the instructions or purchased online at https: //www.thegamecrafter.com/games/infinity-plus-one1), the book can be used as a method of divination.
