The Afterlife of a Restless Soul: But is God Really a Woman?
A book within John F. Brinster’s Cackelry stories, The Afterlife of a Resteless Soul Brinster explores the notion that all humans must eventually die and the fact that afterlife is of universal concern. The imaginative mind looks to its best interest; while religion can guide men’s soul, simple belief is not for everyone. Readers are introduced to Professor Jeremiah B Cackelry III, a brilliant Einsteinian scientist, intent on saving the world. He is a confirmed atheist who married his young assistant and met death by Viagra complications.
The Afterlife of a Restless Soul follows his spirit into the afterlife where, finding no God, he reorganizes heaven. Disillusioned by ideal existence, he returns to the planet plagued by fear that a God might exist and is likely to be a woman.
