After reading an article by ABC News "Americans are Surprisingly Flexible About Religious Faith" enraged and with a broken heart, learning how exceedingly deceived people are, I sat down to write what I thought would be an Op Ed article. However, while writing, I realized it would be a book. Then, before this book was completed, I knew there would be at least two more.People make all sorts of truth claims, upon which they base their life. Unless the truth we claim actually is truth that lines up with reality, we are among those who are deceived. And the saddest part is victims of deception are unaware of their condition. All the questions on the back cover are respectfully answered in this one book, providing objective, verifiable evidence in support of my claims. This book is for skeptics and those who are convinced their beliefs are based on objective, verifiable truth. "Unless we examine what we believe and why, we can easily be deceived and not know it."Awarded Authors db 2015 national Book Cover Award and Christian Small Publishers Association national 2017 Book of the Year award.
