Thousands Have Been Murdered And Enslaved Both Physically And Spiritually By Religion Throughout Human History. Find a loving alternative for relating to God at www.CharacterOfGod.com

Atlanta, GA, March 11, 2004. Lewis Publications presents an empassioned and long awaited book, "The Character of God...An Alternative To Religion", by Edward J. Lewis. In this new book, there is an effective alternative to religion and its disastrous effect on society. The author is enraged by what has happened, yet offers a loving and peaceful change. Religion has to stop distorting the Character Of God and enslaving the human heart, soul and spirit.

Many thousands have recently been raped and sodomized by religious leaders and it is time for it to stop, now. Religion has deprived humanity of its relationship to God by depicting God's character in a negative way and placing conditions on that relationship.

In a testimonial letter Dr. Ken Kowalski of Lynchburg VA writes: "Religion has too often fostered misunderstanding of the Character Of God and generated more feelings of guilt than feelings of awareness of God's powerful love and desire for a relationship with us".

The essence of religion is its desire to control and manipulate humanity by the use of fear, guilt and shame. It sets unattainable standards and then declares all of humanity to be separated from their Father due to the "sins" of two people; due to their heritage and birthplace; and for many other mindless and senseless reasons. September 11, 2001 never would have happened without the instigation and support of religion. The rape of innocent young boys never would have continued to happen without the knowledge and support of the leadership in the Roman Catholic Church.

Ed Lewis has strong views and strong opinions. Those views and opinions are presented in a forthright and frank manner in his book. He presents them without excuse out of his diverse and complex background and personality. Gone are the spin and the religious jargon, it is plain talk and compelling facts. The author has put forth a viable and relevant alternative to relating to God through religion.

As we begin to know Gods character and understand His unconditional love, there is a miracle that is going to happen in our lives, in our homes, and in our communities. It is a miracle of freedom and love. It is a miracle of self-acceptance and self-worth that is going to impact all of us for the rest of our lives, and even beyond our lives into the unknown. It is a miracle of knowing and experiencing why we were created, and how much we are loved and cherished by our Dad. It is a miracle that you will experience as you hear the voice of God, on a moment-by-moment basis, telling you who He is, who you are, the purpose for your life, and how very much God loves you.
