Product Description
Product Description
An ancient parable speaks of a divine stream that poured forth from the earth itself. It bubbled up along the road of life and many, tired and footsore, gathered to refresh themselves there. Over time, altars and walls were erected to protect the source of the stream, and a special caste of men named themselves the streams guardians; under their guidance, only a precious few could access the water. Wars were fought over when and how people could drink. Eventually, so many were turned away that the stream was forgotten, but when all the chanting and ceremonies cease, there are still those convinced they can hear, somewhere deep within the edifice, the sound of water coursing over rock.
Based on actual events, N. M. Freeman's the story of Q. is about four people divided by time and space, who still hear the water fl owing in the depths of their hearts. Meet Mateo, Farah, Rose, and Roger: strangers unknowingly tied together by a mysterious document known as Q. This ancient document tears apart their preconceived notions about God, religion, and themselves.
The Q document threatens existing notions about the meaning of life. There are those who would keep its contents hidden in an effort to hinder the destruction of the modern church. There are also those who would share the document with all mankind in order to return human spiritual awareness to its purest form, like the forgotten stream of the parable. Without doubt, the Q document could tear humanity apart-but it could also lift the human race to a new level of divine consciousness.

As someone who is interested in the universe and the human condition, this book came as a refreshing antidote to the books that are written to enable conformity. It was subtle in its profundity without losing any of its impact on an enquiring mind.
Anyone interested in religion, Christianity in particular must read this book. It is an eye-opener and answers as many questions as it raises for more research. It is written how books should be; peaking one's interest and making the reader want more. It is obvious that the author put a lot of work into it doing an awful lot of research.
An absolutely excellent read.

As a seeker of spiritual meaning and self-knowledge, I have a library full of books I dearly love about philosophy, theology, mysticism, biblical history and psychology. Written by experts in their fields, most of these books are tough going for the average reader. Being a scholarly type, I have a high tolerance for this style of writing which has opened the door to ideas that have changed my life.
But this book! This Story of Q. written by a layperson with no formal theological credentials other than the most valuable one of all: a passion for truth! This amazing book! It takes on humanity's age-old question, "What is the meaning and purpose of my life?" and in compelling stories about four people, written in terms anyone can understand, lays the answer out as clear as can be for anyone who's interested. Although it's about the origins, flaws and symbolic meaning of Christianity, it contains perennial truths that underlie and transcend every religion. And as an added bonus, it's a page-turner! I've already bought seven copies (six for gifts) and will no doubt be buying more soon. If you're at all interested in this sort of thing, I'm telling you, you really need this book! This refreshing, groundbreaking book.

NH Freeman has a way with words!
It blows me away that The Story of Q is her first book. It is evident that she poured her heart and soul into this book. Such an amazing effort.
The book comprises four beautiful stories that are cleverly woven together. I enjoyed how the story of each character is written in a different yet fitting style. The book is well researched and presented. The characters are immensely likeable.
The messages (and there are many) are profound, thought provoking and very memorable. The last book that left me with such awe was The Alchemist.
In a nutshell: inspirational beautifully written and profound book. The Story of Q is a Must Read!
