Seismic Shift 

Seismic Shift is a novel written by Keith Martin that explores the connection between God and goodness. 

Like many of today’s ‘nones’ (people with no religious affiliation), Philip used to believe in God—until the Rwandan genocide. He still believes in God, but not as you might think. Through honest conversations over drinks with the author, follow his thought-provoking journey from faith in a supernatural Being to a nonreligious worldview where God is a metaphor for Goodness and spirituality is about values, not beliefs.

If seismic means “having a widespread impact; earthshaking,” experience Philip’s seismic shift as he painstakingly revises his map of reality to correspond with his experience of reality. Whether gladly or reluctantly, discover with Philip a way to make sense of suffering, God and life itself.
