David Ponder, a man in despair, has been chosen chair of this final summit. He is brought there by Gabriel, yes, the archangel (although Winston Churchill purposely leaves out the ‘arch’ to irk him and readers I assume). In company with five select other Travelers, and with the assistance of all the other Travelers of the world, David attempts to answer the final question:
“What does humanity need to do, individually and collectively, to restore itself to the pathway toward successful civilization?”
The answer, Gabriel says, contains two words, and the summit has only five tries to save the world.
The Travelers struggle with this question sand slips through a large gold hourglass as time moves on…in unexpected ways.
As someone who is on her own journey of faith I find that The Final Summit is not the book to find that faith. This book may be feel like Mr. Andrews wants to leave God out of everything. My impression is that Mr. Andrews feels mankind should save mankind and not turn to God for our salvation.
