A teenager from Alabama begins losing his grip on reality after the death of his brother. A decade later—with his mental illness progressing and inspired by the work of L. Ron Hubbard—he attempts to trap the madness on paper to analyze it. He writes "The Positive Energy Theory." Soon after, he is visited by God, who commands him to keep writing, instructs him on the chapters, and guides his words. Eighteen years after he first began capturing the unknown parts of his brain, the Holy Book has barely survived. This is the testament of Adam, who became God.

Spinoza is a philosophical and literary fresco that breathes life and voice back into one of history’s most fascinating thinkers.

The sages of the Torah have unraveled the mysteries hidden in the sacred texts, offering contemporary seekers a path toward the realization of the Self and...
