Synopsis

The author addresses sensitive issues emerging from changing Christianity's messages to the world and the resulting influence, not only to Christianity itself, but to western world governments. He maintains that Governments and Christianity have both fallen prey to political manipulation of man's sensitive ego; and the only reason that has happened is because official Institutional Christianity now "coddles" ego to enlarge its membership. He concludes that gaining control of personal "ego" is the primary biblical message to living out Christian standards and traces the decline in western culture and the dismantling of free societies to the abandonment of traditional Christianity.

A propos du livre

Biographie de l'auteur

The author was born in Weatherford, Parker County, Texas on April 30, 1928 to Forrest Landon and Minnie Mae Davis. He married Alta Mae Etheridge at the age of 19 and they had four children, Steven, Kent, Connie, and Linda. They were married 53 years until her death on April 11, 2000. If one adds all of that up, it makes the author 82 years old with the publishing of this book. He was raised in a traditional Southern Baptist family who were very active in attending and supporting their local Church. In fact, Church attendance took priority over most all other family activities. Considering his extensive protestant background with its specific definition of Christianity, not much of it is reflected in his present concepts and conclusions about the bible, God, the church, prayer, or even the definition of Christianity. He was pretty much self-taught beyond high school. He was and continues to be innovative in his ongoing search for knowledge. Some of his diversified accomplishments include licensed pilot, computer technician in the 50's, Certified Member "American Society of Traffic & Transportation" Railroad Director, Executive in a large international company, active US Naval Air Reservist, and Christmas tree farmer. His hobbies include art, photography, cartooning, music, softball, golf, fishing, and reading. The well known reformer Martin Luther once said: ¨A simple layman armed with Scripture is greater than the mightiest pope without it" One thing alone should make both this and his first book interesting. Neither of them could have been written by a person coming from within the trained talent pool that makes up the leadership of Christianity as we know it. It is the author's belief that scripture stands alone, not needing to be propped-up by him or by anyone else, and should create interest by its own authority.
