A Very Important Book.......2004-01-26
One of the author's main messages is "not" to believe anything without first verifying it with reality, as we know it. He calls it the "Personal Explanation Principle". He indicates that religions are just such belief systems that we as people "fall" victims of; because we do not verify the beliefs with the facts, as we know them, of reality. He gives a very detailed explanation of how the New Testament can be explored using his methodology.
The author methodically and meticulously walks us through his thought processes, which took 30 years to assimilate, of delineating the structure of reality and the nature of consciousness. Included in the "walk" are many of reality's phenomena made revelatory. An example of that, for me, would be the dual nature of light. It's particle/wave duality, which is explained as "functions". Also, when the author took me on the mental journey of "Setness" an exhilaration of the magnificence of life swelled up in me.
To me this is a very important book that should be read by all that are seekers of truth. It is for all those wanting to gain an understanding of the purpose for their existence, wanting to know where life is headed towards, and wanting to know who God is.
This book will enlighten and develop one's mind substantially. You will discover that this is our objective.
And yes, I contacted the author and he responded openly.

Book Description
".A masterful and enlightening analysis of the frightening theological errors of a major and widely publicized Christian teacher/leader. As a commonly referenced 'grand old man' of the faith, even in secular news magazines, his false gospel is especially dangerous to the true Church. It seems the key failure in Stott is, 'emotionally I find the concept intolerable'. In the face of the reality of hell what else are people supposed to do but sear their conscience or crack under the strain and fall at the foot of the Cross!!" -- Dr. Gary L.

Born In Sin

Author Evelyn Coleman, best known for writing children's books and adult thrillers, takes on teen fiction with Born in Sin. Living in a housing project with drug dealers as neighbors, 14-year-old Keisha is determined not to let her future be dictated by her meager circumstances. A straight-A student, she confidently applies for an advanced placement summer program. But her dream is derailed when school administrators decide that instead of following the college track, Keisha should attend a summer program for at-risk teens. Infuriated, Keisha refuses to go along at first, (in a memorable opening scene, she snatches the wig off the head of the offending principal) but then, through that program, she discovers a natural aptitude for swimming. Encouraged by a kindly coach, she begins to train for the Olympics. But family problems and a nearly fatal quarrel with a local drug lord coincide to undermine her confidence again. Will Keisha ever be able to overcome the "sin of poverty" and become the winner she knows she is inside?Despite some politically correct, almost caricatured characters, (the white lawyer in charge of the program informs Keisha's mother with utmost sincerity, "I am aware of the idea that because your roots are in Africa, you may not see time in a linear fashion as we do"), Keisha is an engaging, bighearted heroine who teens will cheer for. This novel is a good suggestion for those older adolescent readers who have enjoyed E.R. Frank's Life is Funny and Virginia Euwer Wolff's True Believer. (Ages 13 and older) --Jennifer Hubert
Book Description
"Come on Betty....Can't nobody stop us from winning, 'cause we fish. I want you to swim....You and me, the first black girls going to the Olympics."
For Betty, winning now means swimming upward from the depths of near-death. In the cold hum of the hospital only Keisha can remember their dreams from earlier that summer, when she was to attend a premed vacation school at nearby Avery University. Keisha dreamed of being a doctor. Betty dreamed desperately of having a friend.
They were both at risk -- at least that's the label Keisha gets slapped with when, instead of Avery, she is sent to an urban rescue program for teens in poverty, or, as she figures it, born in sin. She is outraged, but she turns anger into something much more powerful -- the will to prove her doubters wrong. For this she has friends, family, and one ally especially -- Malik, Betty's watchful brother, who wants beauty to be there for everyone. Keisha's story is part drama, part victory lap,...and all heart.

Reaching Your Dreams.......2001-07-29
Keisha Wright is a fourteen-year-old girl who is streetwise and smart in school. Her long-standing dream is to one day become a doctor. To help fulfill that dream, she anxiously awaits news of her acceptance into the high school program at Avery University. While at school, Keisha is called to the principal's office along with other students and is told she is being assigned to a program for "at-risk" children for the summer. Not only is she told she is "at-risk" but is also told that she is being removed from the college prep course program where she has been getting excellent grades. This alone sets the stage of a very revealing story of how the education community and society itself stereotypes our youth.
While attending the "at-risk" program with persistence from her mother, Keisha meets and becomes best friends with Betty Shabazz and soon develops a crush on her brother, Malik. Betty and Malik both have to struggle daily with a drug addict mother and alcoholic father. Becoming friends with Keisha helps Betty to stay away from home as much as possible and from her parents environment.
After a beach incident, where Betty almost drowns when the lifeguard decides to take his time to rescue her; and Betty's brother Malik beats the lifeguard and is almost taken to jail, both Betty and Keisha decides it time to learn how to swim. What they soon realize is that they both have a talent in swimming and are asked to join a local community swim team. They excel in swimming to the point of being considered Olympic hopefuls.
In the meantime, the lure of the streets and material things take Betty to near disastrous results. While fighting that same lure, Keisha refuses to allow an opportunity to attend Avery University high school program pass her by, so she applies on her own and is accepted. However, because she was removed from the college prep program at school, she now must pay for the program herself. Keisha's mother takes it upon herself to earn the money anyway she can, keeping what she is doing from her family. When Keisha and the
rest of the family speculates on what their mother may be doing to earn the money, she follows her one night and is nearly raped. Still not knowing what her mother is doing to earn the money for her to attend Avery University, she becomes totally distraught to the point that she feels she must indeed been "born in sin".
Keisha, Betty, and Malik along with other strong developed characters in Ms. Coleman's novel is scripted to a point that every person jumps out at you with their own personal drama and real emotions. She draws you into relating and becoming truly absorbed in what Keisha, Betty, Malik and others must endure to reach their dreams.
As stated briefly in the beginning, Ms. Coleman's novel takes you through several emotions from laughing, sad, upset, angry, crying and finally cheers. I personally experience them all. It is a wonderful story where you will definitely close the book learning something very deep and relative to real situations and circumstances facing our youth today. You will truly enjoy the ending. I applaud Ms. Coleman on a well-written book and highly recommend everyone read Born in Sin. I give it a rating of 5.

Have You Truly Been Born Again of Water and the Spirit?
Paul C. Jong Manufacturer: Hephzi-Bah Publishing House ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback ASIN: 8983140356 |
Book Description
This is the first book in this age to preach the gospel of the baptism and the blood of Jesus as it is written in the Scriptures. The true gospel clearly tells us that He took away all our sins through His baptism and took over judgment for all our sins on the Cross. I am sure that there is no other book that preaches `the gospel of the water and the blood' more clearly and faithfully than this one. The Samaritan woman who drank from the well of Jacob everyday couldn't quench her spiritual thirst, but when she drank the water of life from Jesus, she earned salvation and thus, quenched her thirst immediately and forever.All of humankind must be born again. We have to be born again through our faiths, be redeemed from all our sins and become righteous. For only then can we enter the eternal Kingdom of Heaven. The Bible says, "Unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God" (John 3:5). "To be born again of water and the Spirit" is the only way we can enter the eternal Kingdom of God.
What, then, is this `water' and `the Spirit' that allows us to be born again? The `water' in the Bible refers to `the baptism of Jesus.'
Why was Jesus, who is God, baptized by John the Baptist? Was it to show His humility? Was it to proclaim Himself the Messiah? No, it wasn't.
When Jesus was baptized by John the Baptist by means of `the laying on of hands' (Leviticus 16:21), it was `one Man's righteous act' (Romans 5:18), which took away all the sins of humankind.
In the Old Testament, God gave Israel the merciful law of redemption. This was so that on the Day of Atonement, all the sins of Israel for that year could be expiated through the High Priest, Aaron, by laying his hands on the head of the `scapegoat' and passing all the sins onto that scapegoat.
These were the words of revelation, which foretold the sacrifice of eternal atonement. It revealed the truth that all the sins of humanity would be passed onto Jesus all at once, who came in the flesh of a man, according to the will of the Father. And He was baptized by John the Baptist who was the descendant of Aaron and the representative of all humankind.
When Jesus was baptized, He said to John, "Permit it to be so now, for thus it is fitting for us to fulfill all righteousness" (Matthew 3:15).
Here, `for thus' means `by the laying on of hands,' in order to pass all the sins of the world onto Jesus, so that all righteousness might be fulfilled for all of us. The word `righteousness' is `dikaiosune' in Greek, and its meaning is "the fairest state" or "to be just in character or deeds with the implication of being righteous or fitting."
Jesus had fulfilled all righteousness for all people through His baptism in a just and fitting manner. Because Jesus took on all the sins of people through His baptism, the next day, John the Baptist testified, "Behold! The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!" (John 1:29)
With all the sins of humankind on His shoulders, Jesus walked toward the Cross. He vicariously took the judgment for all the sins He had taken on Himself through His baptism. He died on the Cross, saying, "It is finished" (John 19:30). He took all our sins onto Himself and received the complete judgment for them in our place.
This one book will surely quench your spiritual thirst forever and ever.
