DESCRIPTION
Gabriel Black finds himself sentenced to prison for life without the possibility of parole for a murder he did not commit. In a twisted sense of honor, he takes responsibility for the action of a woman he loves and pays for it with his freedom. One day in the prison library Gabriel reads about a man with a wonderful family and a successful career who finds that he has been cured of cancerthus proving, the author says, the existence of God. Gabriel is unmoved. A truer test of Gods existence would be to find proof of Him in a disgusting corner of the world like prison, without hope, surrounded by violence, hatred, and indifference. Gabriel starts a file where he can store any evidence of the divine he comes across no matter how unseemly. In brutal, honest language, he uncovers himself and the world while surviving in a hopeless hole, swimming in angry memories and regret.

Frank Turner Hollon's The God File is, by turns, tragic and hysterical, prosaic and pensive. It is largely an entertaining work of philosophy and metaphysics, as any work which undertakes finding proof for God's existence must be. But this is not about ontological proofs, teleological arguments, or categorical imperatives. This book is about proof of God in the details of life--whether revealed in Gabriel Black's memories or in the frightening interior of an Alabama prison. Mostly, as Black himself observes, the proof of God is found in the search for God. Although I found myself laughing out loud at times at the Clyde Edgerton-like predicaments of many oddball characters, mostly I found myslef thinking about weighty and important issues. And there are many of them here to reflect upon.
