Serving God Not Babel

Book Cover & Preview Text
The ancient Greeks had a saying; “Know thyself”: You can only know thyself, by understanding others. God is found in that spark of good; that is within all of us. If we seek to know, and understand the good, that is within us all. We may perceive the image of God; that is within all of us:
We can learn a lot about God from the Bible; and what others tell us about God: That is nothing compared to what we gain, when we learn to love God. When we really love God, with all our might, we learn to love all that he has created.
I said, I would tell you the truth about God, and I have:
Knowing God via Jesus
God is a spirit of Goodness, who loves all that he has created. As a Christian, I see proof of that goodness, in the life of Jesus Christ. You can learn more about God from the Bible; and other religious writings:
You can only learn more about God; if you are willing to take a risk.
Imagine God as a friend, who you know a lot about, yet you have never met. One day, you receive an invitation to dinner from Jesus Christ, to dine with his father. Just you; and God: Accepting that invite, is the only way you will learn more.
You are fearful, and may wonder if you can trust God, but you trust Jesus Christ. Yet, if you love God with all your mind, heart, and soul, it is not a problem.
Do not worry, if some of the things you have read, you do not like. God is a good host; he will not force you to play chess, if you want to listen to music. God is mindful of what you want, and wants to know you, as much as you want to know him.
This year I fulfilled a dream, and I went to
God is like that. You can read every book about God; but nothing is like the real thing. This is why you must not draw a line, or set limits, because if you do, you draw a line between you and God, that limits your relationship with God. If you want to know God, you will have to cross that line. If you have built a wall, you will have to knock it down, because God is waiting on the other side.
It may seem dangerous, but it is well worth the risk. The only way to know God; is to learn to love God, with all your mind, heart, and soul. Enough said, about the nature of God. I hope that you will now understand; that in our relationship with God, we can have no limitations.
The trinity
As a Christian, and via Jesus Christ, I have been taught, that God is three beings in one: God the Father; God the Son; and God the Holy Spirit: Some people, present this as a great mystery, but the clue to understanding it is within us. Mankind is made in the image of God.
When I was born, I was someone’s son. I am now a man, and have my own son. In that sense I am both a son, and a father. Yet there is something else which is within me as the son and also within me as the father. It is the essence of who I am. It is my spirit.

About the Book
This book was started about five years ago, following a debate with a Jehovah Witness, and the words David said to that person. At the time, that person made excuses and left. David, realised he had received a revelation. It was the answer to questions he had asked, and prayed about.
If there is one God, then why did many nations, once believe in more than one God?
If all the ancient religions are false, then how can we be sure, that what we now believe is true, and not also false?
Why is religion, to some a dirty word, which can turn people away from God, rather than bring them to God?
In this book David provides answers to these questions: He examines the importance of belief, and language in our civilizations. How language, and belief is the essence of our culture.
He suggests that a certain event in our distant past lead to the creation of many different religions, and caused us to believe in many different Gods.
David explains; how God choose one individual whose descendents would become a nation of priests. A nation destined to be ruled by God via his son.
He examines what has gone wrong, and is wrong, with all religions since the birth of Jesus, and how we all continue to serve
About the Author
David was born in 1949 in Bridgwater,
He was brought up as a Christian by his parents but in his early teens he questioned the existence of God. His conversion occurred when he asked: “Was there a God, who love him enough, to allow his son to die on a cross for him. Could he reject such a God, out of hand?” He decided to go to church for a year and see what happened. By his late teens, he had become a disciple of Jesus.
David calls himself a Christian, preferring this to what denomination he is. What is important to him; is that he feels the presence of God daily in his life and in the church he attends.
Education is a daily process of enlightenment, with God as his
His first book was started following a revelation from God which occurred during a debate. He has plans for a further book, but daily seeks to serve God via Jesus, in whatever manner he is called.
