Nick Bunick is a successful Oregon businessman who has never considered himself particularly religious until an experience with hypnosis provides him with recovered memories of his past life as the Apostle Paul. Initially reluctant to share these memories, Bunick is persuaded to do so by a series of encounters with angels. His angelic visitations and the details of his prior incarnation as one of Christ's apostles provide the substance of "Messengers", a book whose appearance, according to the publisher, marks "a return to the age of miracles."
