Stranger in a Strange Land by Robert A. Heinlein PB 7th Avon V2056 (1966)

Description: Stranger in a Strange Land (1961) Valentine Michael Smith ("Mike"), of human stock but raised on Mars, returns to Earth armed with his innocence and the Psi Powers bequeathed to him by the Martians. After meeting Jubal Harshaw and being tutored by this ultimate surrogate-father and know-all voicebox for Heinlein himself, Mike begins his transformation into a Messiah-figure; demonstrates the nature of grokking – Grok (which see) being a term which Heinlein created for this book and which can be defined as the gaining, sometimes more or less instantly, of deep spiritual understanding; eliminates those he deems unworthy through "discorporation", a form of dying which is painless and which can be freely imposed upon others; and eventually undergoes a deliberate, calculated martyrdom to further his self-founded Religion.
