The Devil Did Not Make Me Do It


Book Description

Dr. Jeffrey Strickland is a mathematician who carefully calculates the measures of things, even to the extent of subatomic particles unseen by the naked eye. As he did with bosons and photons in Quantum Phaith, he meticulously calculates the nature and impact of Lucifer, the fallen one. Taking a line from Flip Wilson's character, Geraldine Jones, Dr. Strickland proposes that we cannot blame all of our faults and failures on Satan. He suggests that by [sin] nature, we are perfectly capable of doing evil with no aid at all. For followers of Christ, Dr. Strickland affirms that the Devil is no match for the power of the Holy Spirit that indwells us. However, in order to be effective Christians, we must know our enemy and the environment that in which he operates. In ""The Devil did not Make Me Do it,"" you will learn to discern between Lies of Lucifer and the Truth.

What You Don't Know Can Not Only Hurt You, But Destroy You!...


Book Description

The main premise of the book: It was written to destroy ignorance and myth. It was written to separate fact from fiction and truth from folklore. It was written to highlight knowledge and establish it as a necessity of production, happiness and fulfillment of life. The book is a testimony that "the most violent element in society is ignorance," "A mind is a terrible thing to waste and if you think education cost, try ignorance!" It was written to correct the historically dangerous sentiment that "What you don't know won't hurt you." But, let it be proclaimed from every mountain, hill and housetop, "What you don't know can not only hurt you, but, destroy you."
