Already garnering intriguing reactions from the disparate spheres of science and religion (http://www.asecretoftheuniverse.com/), "A Secret of the Universe: A Story of Love, Loss, and the Discovery of an Eternal Truth," presents a groundbreaking look at clashing beliefs in America's heartland. The book, published by Truth-Driven Strategies, is set for release on October 11.
"In an era of tribal conflict, culture wars, terrorism and a constant drum beat of scientific discoveries that challenge our worldviews and beliefs, it should come as no surprise that
there is conflict in the world," Gibson says. "But is there a path out of the angst and violence that plague us Can there be a brighter day"
Gibson's plain-spoken novel (http://www.asecretoftheuniverse.com/), their odyssey plays out on a global stage, with tragic consequences. Only by embracing the inherent mystery and pain of
their quest do Ian and Bill make the discovery that really matters -- a genuine secret of the universe that one reviewer has called "the most important secret the world could discover."
This emotional allegory straddles a line between the heretical and articulating the merits and virtues of faith.
"Foreword Magazine" reviewer Carol Lynn Stewart sums it up this way: "Gibson takes the hard questions head-on and weaves multiple points of view, including the omniscient storyteller,
allowing the reader enough distance to step out of the story and dig into the references in the back of the book. In fact, several characters are actual researchers and theologians, set
in fiction. ... Readers who delight in a well-researched cautionary tale might find themselves dog-earing pages and taking notes as they enjoy the story."

Eternal Truth". Gibson, 40, has been a successful entrepreneur, corporate pilot, consultant, elected official and community volunteer. In the wake of the 9/11 attacks, however, his
nascent fascination with the origins of human belief and knowledge -- known to scholars as epistemology -- grew into a journey of introspection and questioning that has been both
invigorating and deeply troubling. Wondering if he was alone, Gibson began to share his struggles. He now reaches many thousands of people with his candid writings, DVDs and podcasts.
