Jean-Claude Koven’s “Going Deeper” presents itself as a beautifully produced hardcover, aiming to guide readers on a spiritual journey through the eyes of its protagonist, Larry. Experiencing a personal crisis, Larry seeks solace in nature. His retreat takes an unexpected turn when his dog, Zeus, begins communicating with him, acting as a spiritual guide.
Larry grapples with the potential of his own sanity as Zeus, along with other spiritual entities, leads him to answers about life’s profound questions: purpose, destiny, and meaning.
While undeniably original, the narrative can be dense and, at times, strain credulity. Although the author clearly intends to impart wisdom to those on a spiritual path, the story incorporates humor and enthusiasm. Koven’s extensive personal journey informs the book, weaving elements from diverse belief systems into the narrative. “Going Deeper” is published by Prism House Press (ISBN#: 0972395458).
