Paper Back SPECIAL! [While copies last! Autographed book: no additional charge]
“A captivating, comparative, and enlightening tale that seeks to comprehend the doctrines and discord between and within Judaism, Christianity, Islam, and Secularism.
What the seeker discovers, transforms his life forever!”
A layman's oddessy every 'open-minded' Atheist, Jew, Christian, Muslim, Agnostic, or Spiritual seeker should read!
[Semi-Fiction] Scriptural and Secular realities intensify this mythical journey to discover the truth about God.
"Devastated by his young daughters' tragic death, Jacob is determined to find God to ask Him why He allowed her tragedy to occur. No longer sure where to find Him, or if God truly exists, Jacob travels through the 'Ancient Gates of Abraham' to wander across the contradictory and prejudiced roads within the Kingdom of Religious Confusion.
Repeatedly challenged to remain open-minded he engages religious leaders, devout followers, agnostics and atheists along passages as ‘Born again Street’, 'Fundamentalist Drive’, ’Junction of the Majority’, ‘Path of Disbelief’, and many more, in commonsense conversations to understand why their philosophy alone will lead him to God, or prove God's non-existence.
Yet the further he travels the more confused he becomes, and it is not until his arduous journey nears its end that he recognizes a culminating revelation – insight he was not expecting to unearth.
