Who is God is a religiously themed novel that discusses various deep questions such as the problem of evil, the meaning of life, the existence of God, the relation between faith and reason, and the nature of beauty. The story begins with a young man named Paul staggering away from a club after a fight has ruined what would have been a night of pleasure. He slowly makes his way through back alleys filled with drugs and prostitution before coming to a section of the red light district with a puritan preacher named Mo sharing a sermon. The two men do not agree on anything, but before long their clash of worldviews takes both to places neither ever expected. Through their interactions Paul will come face to face with his family, passions, himself, and ultimately God.
Paul does this through a series of encounters. In each one another person, whether it be a reoccurring beautiful woman, a family member, or an old acquaintance, tries to teach Paul something about God. In each episode another person engages Paul's soul and brings him closer to accepting Christ while Mo keeps sharing scripture that seems to guide his meandering mind. Yet, all the while the young man’s critical condition worsens. By the end of the book Paul’s soul is on the brink of death as he is forced to decide how he will relate to God.
