Everything is going to be just fine.
These are the final words of twelve-year-old Jonathan Daniels’s dying grandfather. He had just spent the last five years telling Jonathan a story about the allegorical “Bright Forest,” in an attempt to explain the true meaning of life. But the story isn’t complete. The final chapter rests inside a little red lockbox hidden and waiting for Jonathan’s discovery. Thus begins his lifelong quest in search of the lockbox and the secret truths of God, religion, and human existence.
The Lockbox follows Jonathan’s nearly seventy-year spiritual journey as he examines the world’s most prevalent religions and the harm they have historically brought and still cast upon countless people and nations. The result is a provocative look at the many explanations different cultures and individuals have created in order to make sense of life, nature, and the eternally spinning cosmos.
Experience Jonathan’s path to the truth as he enters seminary, becomes a Christian preacher, falls in love, and eventually finds himself telling the story to his own grandson, all the while continuing his resilient search for the little red lockbox and hoping that everything will indeed be just fine.

Dr. Curtis Pickert is a pediatric critical care physician who has devoted much of his life to understanding the real truth of God, religion, and human existence. In 1991, while typing the first words of his novel The Lockbox, Dr. Pickert embarked on a most sincere attempt to address that real truth, to point out how religion and related falsehoods may have evolved, and to offer a heartfelt alternative.
