The Balance Point is  a story of a search for something so mysterious that the main character doesn't even know what it is, or how  to recognize it if he finds it. It touches on science, mathematics, economics, religion, and  spirituality, in a manner that is  both illuminating and disturbing.

Based on actual occurrences and factual scientific and environmental information, The Balance Point weaves a compelling adventure story into an ominous tapestry of planetary degradation. Jonathan is reluctantly goaded into satisfying the conditions of his deceased Aunt's cryptic Last Will, sending him on a puzzling journey to perplexing destinations. What he finds is worrisome, yet hopeful: something has gone missing in our collective human consciousness.

The timely message takes a critical subject  and handles it in a clever way. This is an uncommonly provocative  educational, and spiritual  journey which ingeniously captivates the reader from the beginning. The  story is so engrossing and the author's writing style so light and breezy that only after finishing the book will it hit the reader just  how much information had been conveyed. The Balance Point is intriguing and suspenseful; all in all, a fascinating read.

    When I first opened The Balance Point, I was skeptical that it would be of interest to me. I knew that Joe's factual books are great resources, but not everyone can cross the bridge and also write novels- even ones based on real events, as this book is. I was soon engrossed in this excellent book. Joe has definitely led an interesting life and it's well worth your time to give this book inspired by it a read! It's also written in an accessible unpretentious style, so even folks who don't have a lot of time to read could (& should) check this out.
