THIS BOOK IS THE KEY!, January 8, 2006
This review is from: Jehovah Unmasked! (Paperback)
Jehovah Unmasked answered all the questions I'd had about the Bibles depiction of God, questions that had really bothered me. I always wondered why the God of the Old Testament lost his temper and murdered millions of people. Why was he so full of rage that he engaged in genocidal wars and even commanded the execution of helpless babies and children and elderly people? Why did the OT God command countless helpless pregnant women to be raped and their unborn children ripped out of their wombs and dashed against stones? How could I reconcile such savagery with the Sermon on the Mount, or with the statement in 1 John that 'God is Love.' Especially with the clear definition of love in 1 Corinthians 13:4-8. If you look up those verses in 1 Corinthians and substitute the word "God" for "Love" you'll see what I mean.
It seemed to me the OT God is completely different from the loving Heavenly Father that Jesus knew and revealed to his followers. Now I know I was correct. Jehovah Unmasked proves from the Bible they are in fact two utterly different Gods. One is the Almighty Heavenly Father that Jesus knew and loved. The other is the jealous, vengeful, wrathful, mercurial, despotic, arbitrary, raging god of the OT. They are two very different beings, and one of them is a fake. The other is the True God, the Abba of Jesus Christ. This book opened my eyes to all the ugly, monstrous, and terrifying behavior of the OT deity, and set me finally free of that being so that I could fully embrace the wonderful Heavenly Father of Jesus.
Most Christians who think seriously about these matters are as bothered as I was. Instead of trying to ignore your questions and problems with these matters read this book and have those questions answered and the matter setlled in your mind and heart once and for all. Jehovah Unmasked is the single most important book about the Bible I have ever read. It contains a Key to understanding the Bible no other book contains! No one ever shared it with me until this book. I have the testimony of the Holy Spirit on this matter, and I know it's true, and now no one can rob me of my faith in the Heavenyl Father of Jesus Christ!
I wish I could get every Christian woman and man in the world to read it. So buy and read this book. The Holy Spirit will bless you tremendously, just as I was blessed and set free. God bless you! :)

All Christians Should Read This Book, January 7, 2006
This review is from: Jehovah Unmasked! (Paperback)
I highly recommend reading Jehovah Unmasked. I have long struggled with the split personality of the Bible god Jehovah. On the one hand he is supposed to be a god of love who is very forgiving. On the other, he seems awfully quick to judge and smite, often in a violent, bloody way. Trying to make sense of the stark contrast can tie your brain and heart into knots.
Jehovah Unmasked offers a very good explanation for why Jehovah seems so split in his personality. Is Jehovah who we've been taught he is?
Jehovah Unmasked also tells us the source of the modern day Bible book collection & whether there were other books that were left out and why.
This book has helped me to have a more healthful view of Jehovah and the Bible God of love. My life has a better quality to it, since reading Jehovah Unmasked. As a child I did not fear God. I became involved in a religion that ingrained an unhealthy fear of God that was very hard to shake. That is, as long as I was not educated as to the real nature and origin of Jehovah. I realize now that when something sounds to be the complete opposite of love, it probably is not love, no matter what religionist claims it is love.
Jehovah Unmasked, is informative & well written so it is easy to understand and entertaining as well. The author is quite witty and deftly uses humor where it's most needed. If you are searching for a better understanding of the dark side of Jehovah, this is a must read.

MAGIC!, February 4, 2006
This review is from: Jehovah Unmasked! (Paperback)
I bought Jehovah Unmasked in November of 2005. I've been a student of the Bible and of Religion for my entire adult life, and this is by far the most unique, interesting, and revolutionary interpretation of the Bible I've ever read. A lot like the movie The Matrix, this one will leave your head spinning (in a good way) if (like me) you're a Bible believer.
The problem of evil had been a huge obstacle in my ability to fully and completely surrender to the Heavenly Father of Jesus Christ. Until I read Jehovah Unmasked. After reading Jehovah Unmasked the obstacle was completely gone, and I was at last able to completely surrender to my Abba, the Heavenly Father. I have never known such JOY in my whole LIFE!
I have met a lot of Christians who were equally disturbed by the actions of the Old testament god 'Jehovah' but unlike me they were able to turn their brain off and just submit to the fiend. I wasn't. I'm glad I didn't submit because now I Know who I would have been submitting to. I have submitted to the Heavenly Father of Jesus Christ, the Father descibed in First Corinthians 13:4-8. 'Jehova' is NOT the Heavenly Father! If you're looking for inner peace and the Love of God, this is the book you need.
The author, Nathaniel Merritt, has been very helpful to me. He put his email address on the inside cover of the book, and we've been emailing since November. I've learned even more through his help, and have grown even more spiritually. Thank you again Dr. Merritt, for leading me to the Truth. I now love God because of your efforts.
