Og believes that wrongful teaching is the greatest enemy against God. In thisbook, readers learn where the religious clergy has told an absolute lie aboutJesus and how Og has told the absolute truth. This description may be from another edition of this product.
A book so certain that it makes a $10,000 challenge! Is this author serious? Apparently, Mr. Og is absolutely serious and is willing to put his money where his mouth is (or in the case of his book-where his ink is). When a friend of mine told me about this book-I thought it would be just another one of the dozen other books I've read claiming to be the beholder of some great mystery of Jesus Christ. But this book didn't disappoint me. It is a beautifully written and serious study of fine, evangelical science. All the difficult questions you didn't know how to ask (and if you did, you didn't have the guts to ask) are answered in this book. I assert The Jesus Secret: The Hidden Truth is the comprehensive guide to understanding the true gospel of Jesus Christ. I highly recommend this book or the new 2006 revised Edition for the serious Christian who wants the truth without the fizzle, which customarily comes with religion. -Thomas J
Jesus' truth, from the author's perspective
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
Reviewed by Rhiannon Fionn for Reader Views (1/06) In The Jesus Secret: The Hidden Truth, I am sad to say, no truths are revealed. Instead the author spends time exclaiming (no kidding, the first paragraph on page 50 has a total of 9 exclamation points all by itself) his version of the life and times of Jesus Christ. This truth, Mr. Og explains in the chapter one, was spoken to him by the Holy Spirit itself after an "extremely long prayer". Though the author is obviously excited to share his personal revelations regarding his journey with the divine, his fanatical delivery and abundant self-promotion (part of Mr. Og's self description from page 187: "His analogies are almost impeccable. And his suppositions seem to be nearly as perfect as facts") overshadow any goodness that might be conveyed by sharing his revelations. Even if the reader does manage to see through the shadowy self-absorption, they might find that they spend more time distracted by grammatical errors, capitalized sentences, clichés, and wretched punctuation than connecting with the author's intended message. Based solely on years of self-study and his conversations with the Holy Spirit, without any indication of degrees, other scholarly study, or any other accreditations, Mr. Og finds it appropriate to discredit thousands of years of other, learned, theologian's teachings and writings at times blatantly accusing them of a number of outrageous acts and outright lying. This book is difficult to read, irrational, and-though Mr. Og instructs his readers to "give [the book] to [someone]-then immediately go buy another one for oneself!" on page193-I wouldn't suggest doing so at all.

This book was truly inspirational, informative, captivating, refreshing and to put it simply it is the best book I've ever read. As a believer, I feel blessed to have come across this work of art. The truth couldn't come across any clearer...follow the path of righteousness and the Kingdom of God is attainable to all...
Awesome! Not for the timid

If you are one of those stiff Christians then you probably won't like this book, but if you are tired of the same old bland, powerless messages that come from the pulpit then READ this book today. Gives a clear and well thought out understanding of biblical scriptures that have been used for years by clergy to manipulate the masses. Highly recommend for any serious student of bible study
