Name Richard Bach's book where a prophet burned his scriptures
Posted: 7/11/2009 4:29:32 PM
In the book, Richard and Leslie were traveling through a maze of parallel worlds, landing in different places. At one of their landings, they met a prophet who just saw his holy book magically appear out of thin air. The prophet then proceeded to burn the book. When asked why, he explained that this holy book will have the same fate as all holy books before it: it will cause wars, death and destruction.

What novel is it? I've only read it in Russian translation.

Meh, I never cared for Richie beyond Illusions and Jonathon. Illusions is enough for any wandering soul.

I think the book was named “One”; though if I remember right they have a similar happening in the book “Bridge across Forever”; I think the reluctant messiah motif shows up in all of Richard’s books in one from or another.

It's definitely "One". I was a huge Richard Bach fan, up until he dumped Leslie for his 30 year old personal assistant.

Meh.

God appeared to the prophet in the shape of a burning scripture.
