This book is about life, not religion. It's not about attending church. My goal is to enlighten those who are not religious or somewhat uncomfortable with organized religion. Christianity was intended to be a subculture within the everyday secular world. God did not send His son to teach humanity about religion. Jesus came to fulfill religious prophesy. He came to separate the rituals of religious tradition from matters of the heart. This allows believers to embrace a more abundant life than what the world offers. Organized religion was the basis for His crucifixion.

The formula Jesus taught does not work with enormous spending budgets and elaborate operating expenses. Building massive structures to house fancy furnishing in the name of God has no correlation with salvation.

"Jesus is for Everybody" contains over 3000 scriptures organized in 5 sections and 15 chapters. Jesus, Holy Spirit, Heaven, Belief, Prayer, Love, Ministry, Giving, Governance, Family, Ways, Money, Knowledge, Old Testament and the Last Days. Here is an overview of each section:

The Introduction explains the purpose of the book and why I believe God groomed me to write it. This is not about me. I write to help new believers and people unfamiliar with the Bible understand simple background and references for future use. The Introduction also includes a reference to a magnificent website which provides access to reading the bible in various translations and languages.

The first section is about God which lays the whole framework for higher power. The Holy Trinity defines God as three distinct entities: the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. This section also includes references to describe Heaven.

The second section is about Faith. I break down the basis for our Belief system and desire to know God. Faith is given to us by God's grace, and not by anything we originate on our own. The chapters on Prayer and Love define how we practice faith in God according to the teachings of Jesus.

The third section is about Church which allows a deeper understanding of ministry according to the scripture. Jesus taught specific guidance for Ministry, and Giving is illustrated as an act of love for one another.

The fourth section on the World explains how humanity is governed overall. Once we understand Governance as the definition of life, we can better understand the power of God's intervention. What we see on the surface doesn't explain how life transpires. We are given hope through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ. Governance, Family, Ways and Money are primary components used to survive. Governance breaks down the different levels of authority, family is the origin of individuals, our ways demonstrate what we believe. In governance I also discuss the implications of abortions, homosexuality, race relations and a host of other sensitive issues facing believers today. Money is described as our sophisticated bartering system designed to promote survival conducive to functioning in a civilized society.

The fifth section on Wisdom explains why the Bible is our source of insight on matters of origin and future expectations. Knowledge in where wisdom is attained and spiritual wisdom is a gift from God. The bible explains that the wisdom of man is foolish in God's eyes. Understanding wisdom starts with the knowledge of God's existence. Faith comes by hearing and not by reading. When a person hears the word of God, his/her wisdom to attain faith is empowered by God and God alone. The chapter about the Old Testament is to bridge a gap between biblical law and the teachings of Jesus. The chapter on last days is solely about recognizing the signs of our time. This clearly explains the situation we face today, including faith, relationships, children, sin and a host of others.

The conclusion contains simple guidance on accepting Christ without anyone else involved. By the end of the book, you will be able to determine whether to believe Jesus was indeed born and crucified as our pathway to building a personal relationship with God. I pray deeply that the truth will challenge religious leaders to align their ministry with the teachings of Jesus associated with one body in Christ.

The Church is in the people. As individuals, we are the Church. The early church came together as one. They were supportive to one another in all walks of life. As I've recently drifted from visiting one church to another, my heart is aching about what I'm witnessing firsthand.

God has designed a path for believers to develop an ongoing relationship with Him that promises abundant life. We must first embrace ourselves to accept the truth about our nature. In short, humanity crucified of our Lord. God showed us that our human behavior will naturally reject His word and in the end, we actually crucified God's word in the form of Jesus with human hands. That act establishes acceptance of the need for humanity to reconcile with God. The ultimate sacrifice is that God sent His son to communicate with us in the flesh and establish a final covenant with those who truly want to know Him.

"Jesus is for Everybody" facilitates a basic understanding of everyday life and what God intends. Through concern for one another, we have the opportunity to prove the validity of our faith in God.
