The Peaceful Revolution
"...and this is how the people will know you are my followers, IF..."
New Blockbuster Book! The most thorough expose and analysis of the Christian religion perhaps ever done, but more than that, a book that presents the best worldview possible for human beings to hold. This book targets those who believe there is more to human existence than merely atoms and molecules and energy; who can see the inadequacies of "science" as the be-all and end-all of all questions about human existence; and who see the significant problems with religion.
Description:
This book provides a compelling and insightful narrative and analysis of why Christianity is a ‘successful failure’, meaning it is successful according to one standard, and a failure according to another. The standard that considers it a success would be normal world/societal measures like wealth/resource possession and control, and people controlled. The standard that considers it a failure would be the One whom the Christian’s point to as their God, Jesus of Nazareth.
The book holistically, yet in simplicity and using non-complex language, puts forth the best world view possible for humanity. It starts with common existential issues that every human being faces, and builds a framework to critique Christianity’s world view.
The author uses many creative, interesting and insightful analogies and metaphors to reveal that which is the successful failure. The author uses reason, logic and observation to demonstrate that many of the key, primary and foundational beliefs and practices of Christianity, not only have nothing to do with Jesus of Nazareth, but actually nullify and cancel out his most important teachings.
This book goes well beyond religious concepts and movements like the reformation, and seeks to bring a significant paradigm change to people’s view of God and this life we are given.
While the book spends a significant amount of time revealing Christianity’s errors and failures, it closes with a section entitled, “The Solution”, which section lays out a clear plan for change…for the solution that human kind desperately needs.
This author has somehow escaped most of the boxes that people live in and view life through, has risen above and has produced a truly unique and insightful work that has the potential to bring desperately needed change to many people.
Target Audience:
Target readership would include those disenfranchised with mainstream or orthodox religious institutions; those who are not dogmatic non-theists or agnostics; those who are searching for a purpose in their life greater than living for money or material security or pleasing one's self with entertainment, etc.; those who sense the wrongs of Christianity or their church experience, but don’t have clarity on what they are or why; those who are confused or afraid of the changing moral landscape of the western nations, particularly U.S. citizens; people who want to know God.

Please consider paying at least $10 for this book to help me in what I am trying to accomplish. I have been working for many years without being paid wages for this greater work. What sets me apart from others you might consider supporting is the following:
1. Joshua of Nazareth says, "The workers are worthy of wages" and "I am the way, the truth and the life, and nobody comes to the Father except through me"; and "Many will come in my name and deceive many". He is referring to people doing HIS work in the first saying, NOT religious work (preaching one's or others religious philosophies and beliefs, other than teachings of Jesus of Nazareth as found in the four books of Johh, Luke, Mark and Matthew). Furthermore, he is saying in the latter sayings that we should listen to no one else except himself regarding God things, spiritual things and human ethics. I repeat and proclaim ONLY the real, historical Joshua of Nazareth, his teachings, and beliefs that follow from HIS teachings. Those who proclaim teachings other than Joshua of Nazareth's teachings are NOT worthy of the wages he speaks of;
2. My work is seeking to bring about fundamental change in how people view life and how we live our lives. I am not suggesting band aids or some new way of doing things that are fundamentally wrong. I am not trying to start a new Christian sect, nor am I pushing some new version of church-ianity. I am proclaiming The Light of the world and HIS message and teachings only;
3. I have been subject to significant persecution, just like Joshua said his followers would be. I have had children I love taken from me; had my natural and legal family members reject and persecute me; lost jobs and work, etc.;
4. I am willing to talk with anyone - including you - and in a civil, hopefully well reasoned way, defend what I believe and what I am doing and describe how I am living my life. Please note I said "talk", not email or chat, but talk on the phone. You are also welcomed to come and visit to talk face to face to verify my claims.
