Another Messiah was written by Stuart Rawlings between January and March of
2005. Its setting is the real world---with all of its problems such as war, poverty, and
environmental destruction. Into this world a girl is born near Jerusalem. She has
withered legs and an inability to speak more than one word at a time. She is an
object of pity---except that when she reaches age seven, she begins to solve our
world's problems, one by one. She soon evidences the passions and healing powers
of Jesus, the wisdom of Buddha, and the strength of Moses and Mohammed.
Other characters in this novel include an eccentric dwarf who has a special
relationship to this girl, and representations of Kofi Annan, David Copperfield, the
Dalai Lama of Tibet, Bill Gates and George W. Bush. Another Messiah takes
readers on a fast-moving adventure through many parts of the world, in a style that is
fun, insightful, provocative and uplifting. It should be read by anyone who cares
about our planet, or who enjoys a good tale.
