Your Move is a choose-your-own-path book unlike any other - an allegorical journey through a world of light and shadow, choices and crossings, that reveals something true about the world you already live in.
You wake at the edge of a vast field with a distant light ahead and no memory of being placed there. That is where the crossing begins. From a fork in the first rank to a final shore you cannot go around, every choice you make shapes the road: the people you meet, the things you carry, where you fall, and whether you rise. Some paths lead through gardens of gold and a voice that knows your name. Others run down into the darkest country the map contains. All of them move toward the same far light - and all of them are asking the same question.
What will you do with the light you have been leaning toward your whole life?
Structured as 94 sections across 8 ranks - exactly the squares of a chessboard - Your Move is an interactive experience for adults and older teens. There are no dice. Nothing is left to chance. Everything turns on what you honestly choose. A short Key, held until the final page, unlocks the allegory once you have made the full crossing: the field, the Gardener, the wood on the hill, the empty grave. The board is real. You are on it.
- 94 numbered sections - 8 ranks - multiple paths and endings
- No prior reading required - complete in a single sitting or across several
- Companion volume to The Great Chess Master (Snippets of Truth)
- Suitable for personal reading, small groups, or as a gift for a searching friend
There were never two powers. There was only ever the One, and a board, and a Hand. And He has already won.
