A Mind opener

If you are like me and are tired of hearing about how the majority of humans are headed straight for hell,this is the book for you. It does one thing that most theologians have failed to do, make you look at the bible in a more reasonable and livable way. not just a manual of instructuions on how to live as a so-called christian and ..woe betide if you dont do what it says!! I have always been fascinated by the book of revelation and have felt it didnt make sense in the "death and destruction" terms as most of us are made to believe by the church. After reading this book i have realised that there is more to christianity than the usual pointing fingers at others and making them out to be the so called anti-christ!! What a relief it was to read about a book based on the bible but interpreted in a Humane way minus the usual pulpit(hellfire and brimstone) attitude!
