THE JERICHO DECEPTION
A heart-stopping thriller into the nexus between spirituality, neuropsychology, and international politics.
Yale neuroscientist Dr. Ethan Lightman is on the verge of a ground-breaking discovery. A discovery that will solve a mystery that has haunted him since childhood. A discovery that will alter humanity's relationship with religion forever.
Ethan's invention, the Logos machine, has the power to produce religious ecstasy, but it may also cause madness.
When a colleague is brutally murdered, Ethan and Rachel Riley, a brilliant and beautiful graduate student, are thrust into a web of treachery that takes them deep into the Egyptian desert and to Project Jericho: a top-secret CIA program run by a mysterious doctor. As Ethan learns how his research has been perverted, he and Rachel race to unlock the Logos machine's secrets before Project Jericho launches a modern Holy War. Along the way, he must confront a suppressed secret from his past that defines his very being.
Jeffrey Small is a popular speaker on religion and spirituality in the 21st century. He graduated summa cum laude from Yale University, magna cum laude from Harvard Law School, and he holds a Masters in the Study of Religions from Oxford University in England. Active in the Episcopal Church, Jeffrey has also studied Yoga in India, practiced Buddhist meditation in Bhutan, explored the ancient temples in Egypt, and journeyed throughout the Holy Land.
