God Is Not a Christian, Nor a Jew, Muslim, Hindu...: God Dwells with Us, in Us, Around Us, as Us

By Carlton D. Pearson

Book Overview

The author of The Gospel of Inclusion continues to rouse organized religion as he raises controversial issues and provides enlightening answers to the deepest questions about God and faith.

What is God? Where is God? Who is the one true God? Questions such as these have driven a thousand human struggles, through war, terrorism, and oppression. Humanity has responded by branching off into multiple religions, including Christianity, Judaism, Islam--each one pitted against the other. But it doesn't have to be that way.

In God Is Not a Christian, nor a Jew, Muslim, Hindu . . ., the provocative and acclaimed Bishop Carlton Pearson follows up on his celebrated first book, The Gospel of Inclusion, to tackle these questions and many more, exploring new ideas about God and faith and putting forth the stunning assertion that God belongs to no particular religion but is an ever-loving presence available to all. For these beliefs, Bishop Pearson lost his thriving Pentecostal ministry but was catapulted instead into a greater pulpit. His readership has grown through appearances on national television and an extensive speaking schedule. With the world in the midst of a holy war, there is no better time for the wisdom of Bishop Pearson to reach a global audience.

Bishop Pearson's many loyal fans, along with new readers, will surely welcome this provocative and eye-opening exploration of a deeper faith, one that goes far beyond any fundamentalist way of thinking, be it Christian, Jewish, Muslim, Hindu, etc. Simply put, Bishop Pearson dares to tell the truth so many others are too afraid to face.

Customer Reviews

This book is not for the dihard Christian who is too afraid to read anything that contradicts what the Bible says. I loved Bishop Carlton's detailed description of what I have come to believe is the truth about who, what, where etc. etc. God is. This is not a book about Bishop Carlton's anger toward the life he was born into, rather it's about his determination to leave a life he didn't feel was right and to help others move out of the bondage of believing in a book written over 2 thousand years ago by wanna be authors who wrote what they "lived" in their time. I commend Bishop Carlton Pearson for stepping out of the political dogma and trap of believing in a non existent old man in the sky reining fear on anyone and everyone who sins in the eye's of a make believe entity. He not only lost more then he was prepared for but he continued his crusade to prove to the reader that God is real and very much alive to those of us who have reached the higher consciousness and are living proof of how there can be no room in our lives for both a loving and fearful God. Thank you for not only bringing more light to the world but hope as well by writing your story. I'm in the process of ordering another of his books and can't wait to delve into even more of what I believe. Maybe one day the true meaning of Christian will rein love in the world instead of used to justify one's own reasons for committing heinous crimes on humanity and animals.
