"The God franchise is a book about God and the universe we live in. It is also a book about YOU - your loves, your triumphs, your good and not-so-good actions, your fears, and your pain. You will uncover truths about who you are and the purpose of your life. In fact, it is a theory of everything!"--Back cover.

The until-now extremely top secret Story of the most profitable business concept ever created. [As documented by impartial witnesses & journalists randomly selected from the 13.7 billion years of this planet's existence.] This Story is fiction. The God Franchise (TGF) is a mystery wrapped in a cloak of religious satire. The story is based on a multi-year overview of how the various religions have adapted the basic business franchise concept to suit and meet their needs, many of which simply involve getting the sheep in to be fleeced. To do that, in the face of increasing competition from older and more established organizations, right up to recent developments of completely "new" religious bodies created by former fiction writers themselves, all these groups have had to adapt and adopt different marketing schemes. The comparison to existing business franchises, especially in the areas of sales promotion, advertising, and public relations, as practiced successfully and profitably from hamburger sellers to automobile dealers exotic trip and tour promoters, is inevitable. Heavily relying on dialogue and the accurate and basically sympathetic portrayal of various members of the main franchisor family over two millennia, TGF is clearly fiction. Or is it?

"This is the best all-around view of the Tolkien phenomenon. Thompson understands the books, she understands the movies—she also understands the money and the franchising. Best of all, she understands the people. Thompson offers cultural criticism of the highest order, examining one of the most significant shifts in contemporary popular media."—Tom Shippey, author of The Road to Middle-earth "Reading these chapters has been an absolute pleasure. It’s all so complex but so succinct. Thompson has managed to do what so many others have failed to do . . . in chapter one, she has explained how all the rights to LOTR bounced around, and were finally sorted so Peter Jackson could make the movie. I’ve never understood the complexities of how that worked until now!"—Judy Alley, Merchandising Coordinator, The Lord of the Rings "I must say that Thompson has written the definitive study of Peter Jackson’s work in creating this remarkable production entity."—Alex Funke, ASC, Oscar-winning Visual Effects Director of Photography, miniatures unit, The Lord of the Rings "I had a wonderful time reading those chapters! There’s so much I don’t know about what went on—I am in awe of all the research Thompson has done. It is an extremely interesting read! There’s so much there that I’d forgotten and I always wished there was a permanent record of many things that happened. Thompson’s account of TORN’s beginnings and how it functioned gets it absolutely right—more than that, Thompson captures how it felt to us at the time. Nobody else has managed to get enough of an understanding to do that."—Erica Challis ("Tehanu"), co-founder of TheOneRing.net
