This book was not written for the church.There are enough books written that expand upon Christian morals andvalues. There are volumes of theological works from a countless number ofChristian perspectives. A brief glimpse into history uncovers a history of scandaland abuse all perpetrated by the hands of the early Christian church. At thiswriting, there is a vast Christian subculture with its own art, music, fashion, andcultural forms of expression. Television personalities preach biblical themes ofhumility and servitude while, at the same time, they purchase private jets andlive in ridiculous excess. Small churches are closing at an alarming rate, and largercongregations are getting obscured in the smoke and hype of commercializedworship services. Arguments against "the faith" are becoming increasinglyarticulate, and media coverage continues to cast a growing shadow over whatevergood the church might be accomplishing in the world.In all this, it is easier than ever to be lost.This book is written for the lost.It originated as a result of an epiphany based on an article about the Curiosityrover on the surface of Mars. Once a year, Curiosity would stop and celebrate theanniversary of its arrival on Mars by stopping briefly to sing "Happy Birthday"to itself. Then, once again, it continues through the dry desolation of the planetsurface on a path of discovery. When you stop and look past all the scholarlydebate and man-made traditions of Christianity and look at the basic message oflove and salvation presented in the scriptures, you will discover a beautiful picture.Over time, the simplicity and accessibility of this message has been diluted andovercomplicated. This book is written for the lost soul who, with a little bit ofcuriosity, has a desire to discover the simplicity of that message.It might be too late to change this world…but maybe we can change that one.
