From Billy Graham to a Trappist monastery, from Capitol Hill to the helm of the Reformed Church in America, Wesley Granberg-Michaelson s personal pilgrimage has covered the length and breadth of Christianity in America. Now, drawing upon forty years of his own spiritual journals, this elder statesman of the church crystallizes his wide-ranging experiences into a sharp, lively memoir. Unexpected Destinations reveals a unique encounter with evangelical piety, Catholic contemplative spirituality, Reformed theology, Pentecostal practice, and ecumenical efforts an encounter that dares to envision unity between all these strands of Christianity. It provides fresh historical insights into the evangelical subculture of the 1970s, sheds new light on how denominations today grapple inwardly with such issues as homosexuality and missional renewal, and poignantly relates the joy and pain of one man s spiritual life journey.

She used this ability to become the richest person in the world and then she started to do good for others. Among other things for good she sets up a trust to fund up and coming inventors who couldn't get funding from other sources. One of these inventors had an idea for a sort of time machine, but it would cost a fortune to build. They built it and the time machine worked but it had unfortunate consequences it gave the heroine terminal cancer due to her being the pilot and genie-pig using it. The heroine died before she could be brought to trial and so escaped justice. But as always there was a twist at the end, especially when you mess with time.
