Those who reject God and religion often do so based on reasonable and seemingly valid observations. There is a powerful distinction that can allow the huge leap from disbelief. Few have realized that “God is not the problem, religion is the problem.” Thus do not place anger against God and His word. God gets the blame because the world wrongly assumes God is automatically attached to the word “religion.” God is NEVER associated with the “religions of the world.” God is only associated with the truth. Religion to have value needs to bring the truth, but that is seldom the case and instead brings confusion.
Understanding the audacity and brazenness of Catholicism is invaluable to comprehend the devastation brought to first-century Christianity. This book explains Catholicism’s audacity, which will allow a better understanding of all religions. Catholicism has influenced religions that even predate the Catholic Church inasmuch as they make Christianity appear highly undesirable. The Catholic Church’s aggressive paranoia and religious domination over much of the last 1400 plus years have left their marks on just about everything and everyone. There is an adversary to the success you desire in life, and if it causes you to be unsuccessful, you would properly label it as evil. Evil can be well disguised and sometimes never discovered because it appears good. The best place to hide evil is in religion.
This book provides a wealth of knowledge about God and life along with overwhelming evidence. You will learn that God has no association with human suffering, and in fact, God is the perfect absence of evil. How can that be, since, by definition, everything must originate with God? We possess very human logic, but God’s intellect is infinitely greater. Things outside our realm can only be understood if God reveals them. Dealing with God means dealing with perfection, and as you better understand His perfection, you will correctly understand things like human suffering.
God’s PURPOSE is to have you succeed, meaning to share in His Divine Nature. Although the saving message is for all, only those with the character God requires will diligently pursue God and truth. That character is demonstrated in humankind’s free-will choices.
Although it defies human logic, God CANNOT do everything, and one of several things He cannot do is lie. He limits Himself in this regard. God cannot simply assign people to share in His Divine Nature since He is the perfect absence of evil and is perfectly impartial. You will come to appreciate God while being amazed at how religion has been naïve as a result of its doctrines.
God’s message does not require theologians to decipher the meaning. The ones God seeks will understand the message if they have a good heart and a love of the truth. The Catholic and Protestant Churches have obscured the essence of Christianity. We will show how these two religions lost their way from their very beginnings.
It is time to make a real connection with God that is powerful, continually verifiable, encouraging, and provides real hope of heaven. Only God can tie everything together perfectly from the beginning, and that is one way there is the validation of the truth.
We will clarify the confusion brought by religion by differentiating between a physical religion and a spiritual religion. This distinction can easily be made with a diligent effort that allows you to understand what you believe.

A Successful Next Life
“What Is Life About? – Life Is About the Soul” takes readers on a transformative journey of self-discovery and purpose, exploring various aspects of life from a refreshing and accessible perspective. Why was this an important book for you to write?
This was to be the central theme for a six book series that would help people to have a successful next life. People go through life and learn a great deal about many things that in the end do not matter. The things that matter are related to whatever helps them succeed. Nothing is more important than the basics and the most basic thing is that their existence continues past death. Thus life is about the soul since it is forever.
Can you share some insights into your approach to discussing God and how readers can establish a personal connection with the divine?
There is only one way to connect with God and it is His way. It cannot be my approach for what do I know about things outside our realm?
What are some practical steps readers can take to apply the lessons from your book in their daily lives?
The things that are practical may be that there is nothing that would seem practical. The emphasis is on the spiritual and in that sense there are practical everyday things. Such as avoiding sin, seeking God and following th The things that are practical may be that there is nothing that would seem practical. The emphasis is on the spiritual and in that sense there are practical everyday things. Such as avoiding sin, seeking God, living characteristically with these things:love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.
What do you hope is one thing readers take away from your book?
Life is short and you need to get it right. God wants you to succeed but you need to overcome what you want from the world and live for Christ.

Certainly, science has dominated the thinking of much of the world. Typically, that means claiming directly or indirectly that God does not exist and that everything, including humanity, happened naturally. Their allies are the size of the universe and the age of everything. The “apparent” conclusion is God was not required. This is wrong on so many levels, and they will be discussed in their obviousness. It turns out the most significant ally of those who reject God, and particularly the God of the Bible is because they want no God, no rules. Thus we have a nice fit between what science teaches and the people who will not be aggressive in considering anything different. The science story is overwhelming with tremendous graphic displays, movies, grand discussions of DNA-related matters, tons of supposed evidence like the fossil record, and the dedication of thousands of careers devoted to nothing else. However, like all matters, you cannot build a conclusion any stronger than the weakest link. If you can accept the weak link as being true, then the story might seem to be true. As it turns out, the Theory of Organic Evolution and the Theory of The Big Bang has many foundational problems. Although those will be revealed, there is a more powerful way to debunk these theories by providing the truth about our existence, and there are no foundational problems.
God – Life Is About The Soul
God – Life Is About The Soul by Author Alan Gill is the third book featured in a collection of six books by the author. The book shares the message that life is to be lived with the sole purpose of the redemption of the soul and the only way to achieve this is through an authentic relationship with God. The author states that the Bible is the true message of God. He offers a critique of organized religions who he asserts do not offer people the correct guidance to achieve salvation through God and admittance to Heaven as they misrepresent the word of God in some cases by focusing on material life rather than the soul and people’s ultimate relationship with God and Christ.
The assertion that the world is a temporary stage of our soul’s life where we are given the opportunity to prove our devotion to God and his purpose for humanity is laid out by the author throughout the book and features as a central message.
“Life is serious business and needs to be lived day by day considering its ultimate purpose, namely your soul.“
The writing is clear and the arguments are set out in a logical manner with direct references from the scripture. The author is clearly passionate in his belief and desire to educate readers on the importance of living a spiritual life in order to achieve success in one’s life. Success is defined by the writer as living life in a manner pleasing God and in turn being granted eternal life in the kingdom of God.
“A wise person can see that life is about the soul. Essentially everything that has meaning is about the soul. All the hundreds of things that a person may consider important in their lives are not important. Ultimately, at death (or Christ’s return), there is only one issue of importance, and it is do you have a relationship with God – are you in the body of Christ. That will be the determining criteria for success or failure. Life is about the soul and absolutely about nothing else, but there are some equivalent ways of stating this that can bring added clarity. Life is about the battle between good and evil and very personally about the struggle between you and sin. This correct understanding of life emphasizes life is about the spiritual.“
I enjoyed reading this enlightening book as it lays out an intelligent discussion about the nature of the soul and the personal relationship one must cultivate with God. The author makes good points about the dilution of the word of God through a misunderstanding or bending of the meaning of the Bible to accommodate human desires and material wants. He effectively highlights the way organized religion has, in some cases, appropriated material wealth under the name of religion and are misleading followers to the true nature of living a spiritual life. God – Life Is About The Soul is a thought-provoking and illuminating read that I highly recommend to readers looking to develop a better understanding of the soul.
