The God Hustlers is a novel about religious cults, the nature of good and evil, and the meaning of spiritual transformation. It brings the experience of the cult to the reader in a very direct way and compels them to draw some startling conclusions. The reader is thrust into the worlds of Simon Peter Stone and Ahmad Sadiq, two of the God Hustlers. Simone Peter Stone is an idealist who corrupts his own vision, and Ahmad Sadiq is an ex-pimp who finds a better hustle. The story is told from the points of view of the hustlers, the hustled, and the investigators.
