This haunting question consumes Ross Collins, whose life unravels when he is arrested after causing a fatal accident just one day after passing his driving test.
Devastated, distraught and overcome with remorse, he sets off on a desperate search for redemption in religion. He joins the Alpha Course, but there he meets Omega Bee, a theology student whose faith is crumbling. She sabotages his quest by teaching him the truth about the human origins of Christianity and the Bible.
But who needs truth when you have killed somebody?
With his trial looming, we follow Ross on his turbulent journey as he tries to put his shattered life back together.
Reminiscent of Sophie's World and Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, Paul Clark's coming-of-age novel is a thought-provoking tale of guilt, redemption, and loss of faith.

OnLineBookClub.org Official Review
"The Omega Course blends a gripping and heartfelt story with in-depth historical research. The novel tells the story of 17-year-old Ross who kills another driver in a traffic accident and goes in search of redemption. A compassionate and balanced examination of faith and unbelief, the novel will appeal to both religious and nonreligious people. Highly recommended."
