    About this ebook

    The religious, spiritual, moral, social, political, and economic crises of our world are all fundamentally 'truth' struggles. How? They are all about 'belief conflicts!' One believes one thing and wants it established as way of life for himself and if possible, for others. Another has a different belief and also wants it established for himself and if possible, for others too; sometimes forcefully!

    One contests the divergent position of the other, another resists the opposing view of the other - the attrition continues. Several times, it escalates into violence, destruction, and all kinds of evil, atrocities, and wickedness. We do not believe in the same things, yet, life has one source – God! The Scripture says He is not an author of confusion but of peace (1 Corinthians 14:33).

    The myriads of divergent views and beliefs in our world is a direct result of the disharmonies and distortions sin, satan and his evil introduced into our life and system. These impairments and distortions progressively worsen the corruption and weakening of the fabric of our spiritual, psychological, moral, and physical being, thereby causing our world to continuously slide into the ocean of sin and its evil.

    This in turn affects the fidelity of our consciousness, perception, experience, and ‘reality’. Due to this corruption and impairments in our internal and external realms (our world within and without), our idea and perception of truth or ‘reality’ most times fall short of what it really is. The Scripture confirms this, “Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror...now I know in part...” (1 Corinthians 13:12).

    Until we trace our steps back to God the Ultimate Source, through the path of ‘Ultimate Truth’, we will all not know true peace (John 14:6-9, 27). Now, what is Ultimate Truth? Come let’s explore and find out together in this book with an ‘open’ mind. God bless you.
