Abstrakt:	The article presents a literary criticism of the book "American Prophet," by Robert Fanning. The lyrical poetry of the author depicts a journey by a fictitious prophet who was created to discern the state of faith in the postmodern America in general, and the life of people in the Midwestern region. During the prophet travel, he witnessed material excesses and consumerism and the insatiable want for pleasure, which magnified his realization and resolve to choose spiritual salvation.
