Religion Ranks as Hot Topic in Current Turbulent Political Environment

Movies. Books. Elections. No matter where we look, we are bombarded by topics with ties to religion: Politicians seek the votes of various religious groups, pollsters study their voting trends, and even the Supreme Court recently decided to hear cases on displaying the Ten Commandments in government buildings. Religion is not only a hot topic, but promises to be a determining factor in the upcoming presidential election.

(PRWEB) October 23, 2004 -- Movies. Books. Elections. No matter where we look, we are bombarded by topics with ties to religion: Politicians seek the votes of various religious groups, pollsters study their voting trends, and even the Supreme Court recently decided to hear cases on displaying the Ten Commandments in government buildings. Religion is not only a hot topic, but promises to be a determining factor in the upcoming presidential election. However, there are many diverse views, even among a single religious group, such as Christians. Though they share the same Bible, it is a book open to scores of interpretations-and, some would say, misinterpretations. In The Pest Control Technicians Guide to Christian Faith, Bruce K. Silverthorne takes a unique look at spiritual issues and reaches conclusions he describes as surprising and revolutionary."

In his book Silverthorne seeks to answer a number of thought-provoking questions: Is there a truth about what biblically qualifies as righteous faith that the church has ignored over the centuries? Is it possible that all of the churchs trumpeting about doctrinal corruption, pagan influences, and expanding apathy toward sin are only red herrings against the true root problem? With Jesus strategy of using common things to explain deep spiritual truths, Silverthorne looks to his role as a pest control technician. He applies his knowledge of eliminating physical pests to eradicating the spiritual pests of faith. He lays the groundwork for his startling conclusions on a common, working mans knowledge of how reality and the human mind work, moving to the Book of Acts to show how the apostles preached only one legitimate reason for faith in the Messiah. In a new and bold approach to the subject of faith, he causes readers to rethink their view of the world, their church, and their Bible.

As people of faith listen to current political rhetoric, they may also feel inspired to examine their own spiritual roots. Silverthornes book challenges readers to look beyond church jargon and take another look at their own faith.
