The Idle Brain: A Theological Odyssey, Paperback

Faithless clergyman Simeon Cole is spirited into the psyche of a

comatose, dying criminal. His task is to awaken the criminal and

combat the legions of demonic forces holding sway in the Inner World.

Simeon must pass through many challenges and tribulations with all the

Powers of the Inner World bent on his destruction. Accompanied by

several companions -- fragments of the criminal's own mind, Simeon

journeys through the bizarre science-fiction and fantasy world made

and controlled by the demonic Powers. If he succeeds, he can escape

the Inner World; failure means his own life. But success also means

losing the only real and meaningful friendships he has ever known. It

is a fearsome task for a clergyman with no faith and no stomach for

adventures. In any case, Simeon must conquer his own flaws and come

to terms with his God to emerge as something more.
