    About this ebook

    In his lives, author Dr. John Sjostedt has been a soldier and a priest as well as a farmer in Iraq, a squaw with children, an Indian Sadhu, and many other incarnations. These experiences have given him a larger understanding of the world. With this sweeping knowledge, he shares a thought-provoking and spiritually enriching look on religion and its iterations.

    Through the collection of writings in God in Us, Sjostedt addresses an array of topics, including:

    Creation
    The Law of Intended Consequences and free will
    Modifying and moderating free will
    The Jews and the Essenes
    Jesus, the origins of Christianity, and the Bible
    The divinity of Jesus and the Christian church
    Parallels between Christianity and Paganism
    God in us
    Attaining enlightenment
    The presence of evil
    When God becomes wanton
    Lucifers tale

    In God in Us, Sjostedt begins to unravel the content of Jesus true gospel. An agnostic, Sjostedt argues God is an unprovable hypothesis. He cannot prove he exists, but others cannot prove he doesnt. However, the beauty of the world attests to the hand of God. God is the one power in from whom all life and matter evolve.
