About this ebook
The book is a sincere effort to bring innocent people who shy away from God back to divine embrace. It is also a crusade against religions scaring people away from God by irrational impositions. It tries to prove that pleasure and sin are not synonyms and abstinence does not draw man closer to God and pleasure away.
