The Rashomon Tea and Sake Shop: A Philosophical Novel about the Nature and Existence of God and the Afterlife - Kyle Cottengim - Bog

Is the road to hell paved with good intentions? Or maybe it's paved with questionable actions. Perhaps there is no hell, never mind a road to it.Phil has a problem, and he calls his two best friends to join him from the other side of the world, as he attempts to determine the way forward. Phil presses his friends Max and Michal to provide him with perspective, and maybe a healthy dose of hope or faith as well.This is a tale of tea, sake, bourbon, rain, golden fields, special guest stars, ants, omelets, and most importantly, potholes -- both the literal potholes of the neglected road to Phil's ryokan and metaphorical potholes of doubt as the three friends struggle to find truth. Along the way, all three will have their beliefs challenged by inner demons -- as well as by others who make a more tangible appearance -- as they try to find the answer to Phil's question, "What do you believe -- and why?"
