Xulon Press Author, John Jones' new book will answer the question of IS CHRISTIANITY A GOOD OR BAD RELIGION?
The dichotomy of Christians doing good in the name of Christianity, as well as using the religion to satisfy their pride, ego, amass wealth and justify ethnic purity and racial superiority is more evident in our culture and society today than ever before. Xulon Press author, John Benton Jones, in his bold and riveting memoir, Forget Me Not: Determined That I Would Live My Life as God Intended, reveals how he was able to understand this dichotomy and why he is able to believe, with certainty, despite experiences that may suggest the contrary, that Christianity is indeed a good religion.
CHICAGO, Jan. 30, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- John Jones's book, Forget Me Not: Determined That I Would Live My Life as God Intended ($16.49, paperback, 9781630501747; $26.49, hardcover, 9781630501754; $8.99, e-book, 9781630501761), is available for purchase.
Forget Me Not: Determined That I Would Live My Life as God Intended is an inspirational story chronicling how John Benton, using the counsel of a soft whispering voice called Forget Me Not, returned to the Christian faith after years of wandering. John Benton turned away from the Christian religion after being humiliated and put in a life threatening situation by white men in downtown Naples, Texas in 1942. Reverend Billy Graham says this voice who counseled and guided him back, Forget Me Not, is "not an impersonal force like gravity or magnetism. He is a person with all the attributes of personality. But He is not only a person. He is Divine."
Readers will find themselves caught up in unforeseen and unexpected life changing experiences, be exposed to spiritual enlightenment, and have the opportunity to witness the truthfulness of divine intervention and the graciousness of a loving and caring God. These experiences and revelations in combination enable the novel to be of value to Christians and non Christians alike. Finally, people searching for answers regarding the dichotomy of Christians doing good and evil and desirous of living a life on earth as God intended will find the novel beneficial.
