Profit of God

By Chris Cooper

Profit of God is a story about a group of young friends who set out on a summer-long work program for a local mega church in the northern woodlands of the Lower Peninsula of Michigan for some cash: what they find is anything but mundane.

The narrative centers around a pair of the friends, who stumble on an ancient mystery hidden in the old woods.
The two have a captivating, and disruptive encounter with a spiritual entity which guards a secret, and the fevered pursuit of the ambitious (and, rather worldly) church.
Compelled by their unintended companion, the pair embark on a journey of dialogue and spirit through the murky, and revealing, and raw features of life and the human condition.
They are guided along paths of deeper contemplation and puzzling subjects about the nature of reality, the meaning of life, of love, and, of death, all while gaining a deepening affection for one another.

The exposure of a criminal enterprise lying beneath the mask of piety leads to the spectacularly horrific upending of the story.

Profit of God was designed to be at least engaging & entertaining, and, maybe, thought-provoking, and even faith-building.
