A Danger to God Himself is a coming-of-age story about a young Mormon missionary, Kenny Feller, who comes to reject the faith he was raised in by seeing his missionary companion, Jared Baserman, slowly go insane. By the time Jared arrived, Kenny was nearing the end of his two-year mission and just going through the motions. Then Jared starts hearing heavenly voices and seeing fantastic visions. For Kenny, it is immediately clear that God has sent Jared to propel him into Mormon Manhood. But something’s not quite right. Specifically, why in the hell would God choose someone as slope-shouldered as Jared—someone so unreligious, so strange—to be a channel for His supernatural power? He doesn’t even read the Book of Mormon. Plus he smells funny. As their tracting grows fruitless and Jared’s messages grow more bizarre, Kenny begins to wonder: Is Jared really touched by God? And, if so, does God know what He’s doing?
