Wordsmiths Books presents the launch of owner Zachary Steele's first novel, Anointed: The Passion of Timmy Christ, CEO.
The teaching, acts, and life of Jesus Christ have been well chronicled. But the writings of the Gospels failed to detail the origins of the organization he formed after his resurrection, which was meant to spread the Word to the world. For more than two thousand years, The Christ Corporation has represented his Will—and anointed a new CEO and Christ every thirty-three years, to serve as the face of the company and the successor to the founder, Jesus Christ. Now, one man is ready to bring it all down.
Timothy Webb, The Christ Corporation’s newest CEO and Christ, not only doesn’t want the job—he doesn’t understand it. Trapped between the exquisitely tailored image of the Christ and the abandoned altruism of his long-forgotten youth, Timothy finds his last hope of resurrecting the true image of faith and defeating an Anti-Christ bent on ruling the world is an unlikely alliance with the misrepresented angel known as Satan.
Bitingly funny and poignant, a tale in the tradition of Douglas Adams and Terry Pratchett, Anointed is a hilarious romp through the corporate-driven world of Christianity.
Is it a very funny novel, you may ask? Indeed it is! And to celebrate, Wordsmiths is doing what we do best and throwing a party to launch Anointed on Saturday, February 21st. There will be food and beverages and other things too, and you will be able to buy Anointed. Zach may read from it, but we will try to keep that part very short, as he is prone to saying stupid and humiliating things into a microphone. There will be fun though, and that we will be sure to have in abundance.
