Books I want to Write: from Chris Brogan's Topics

If it was possible to change the world with 10,000 words what would you say?

The world has changed already. For those who want to change it back there is almost too much to say.

Something that really bothers me about this changed world is the materialistic belief that this is all that exists: just what you can see, think and touch right now. I want to write a book about a man who believed that and changed.

This rationalistic being fell through his solid little world onto another planet. He found to his surprise that something else, quite superior and beautiful, existed. And a flaming sort of way his whole worldview changes. That's what fascinated me about the idea; the way this one belief can control so much of a man's mind.

But to be a mere supernaturalist is dangerous. It's too powerful for us to play with. So, I'd write another story. This one would be about the raging battle in the world of good and evil.

A Catholic priest moves to a middle-sized town. There is other pastors and such there. But he's different. A long time ago he was set on fire with the knowledge of this battle between good and evil. He's unable to pass by any suffering, any evil, any single person. His heart is in pain with the thought that so many people will be slaves to evil and fear. He prays and fasts and talks to town leaders about secret gangs, talks to gang leaders about the Higher Council of One. But he is also fighting the same battle with himself. He too is in the spiritual realm. 

And it wouldn't be enough to create a theological dualist. The next of my books would talk about God. But it takes a genius to handle that Subject rightly. All I could do is give a list of books that do it like I think it should be done.Goodness is so beautiful. God is so good.

But who would listen? The world has changed too much already. There's no hope of a person turning it around.
