The new book is out!

Hey all, I wanted to let you know that my first book, One Power in the ’Verse: Finding God in Firefly and Serenity, is out and available now at lulu.com. You will soon be able to find it at Amazon, but I’ll give you the link when it’s there.

If you’ve ever seen the show or movie, you’ll know that Christianity and faith play a big part in the story, even though series creator Joss Whedon is not a believer. This book explores the role of Christianity in the story, as well as the underlying hints of God in the characters, their situations, and their reactions.

From the back cover:

“From the first scene of the first episode of Firefly, where Malcolm Reynolds kisses a crucifix before going into battle, God has played a major role in Joss Whedon’s fascinating look at the future. In One Power in the ’Verse, God’s presence in Firefly and its sequel Serenity is explored in detail, respect, and awe. With careful scholarship, author Paul Lytle shows that God is inexorably woven into the fabric of the ’verse . . . and why it’s better that way.”
