This book shows what is wrong with the church: paganism infiltration of the True faith in Messiah Yeshua (Jesus). It shows how paganism was introduced into the church from the beginning and shows what is now called "christianity" is a far cry from the truth taught in the early church in the first century.

It is a hard message for most and most will reject it. Yeshua said that the road is NARROW and FEW will find it. He knew paganism would take over what is called Christianity. paganism even took over in the Holy Temple in Ancient Israel (Ezekiel chapter 8) and they told the prophets Adonai (God) sent to go away, that they will worship God THEIR way. They refused to listen to the truth just like the so-called "church" refuses to listen to the truth today.

I HIGHLY recommend this book and will be purchasing more copies for family and friends that are still entrenched in romanism (through the baptist "church")

All I can say is "Wow" what an eye opener, I already knew quite a bit but only bits and pieces of the puzzle. I didn't understand the scope of the situation the church is in and just how bad everything was until now.

The book goes into great depth and detail into the history of the adaptations of paganism in the church, especially that which originated in pagan sun worship.

The Author does not beat around the bush, he gets straight to the point and with precision, then he backs it all with archaeological evidence and historical facts including the most popular encyclopedias.

If you can only read one book in your life --- Read This One!!!

One of the reviewers says satan was not invented until the New Testament. Need I say more. Eliminate personal bias, have a read, including a biblical study, and this book will provide many fascinating revelations to an honest heart. This books belongs in every Christians library. Changed my life and perspective on many things. Blessings have come ever since.

This is a life changing book, and should be introduced early in life, before we have been "covered" with these false traditions !Thank you ! Sally

I think the book hit its mark as far as content but I was really disappointed in the fact that I was expecting more in depth research. For intstance Constantines Labranth was mentioned. There was no history on the symbolism, where it orignated, what it symbolizes, it's role in Pagan Ritual. It just basically stated that it was of Pagan origin. I knew that. I think a better book is The Two Babylons ( a bit lengthy and wordy but tons of info)or The Christian Pagan Connection if you are looking for an easy read, still a lot of info.

For several months I attempted to sort out why Christian teachings and practices were so contradictory and different from the Scriptures. I had reached the place where the topic of solar deities kept entering my radar. Signs of sun worship popped up in cultures around the world including the West, and it became a game with me to watch for sun worship symbols on products, websites, corporations, tee shirts and especially churches. When Richard Rimes, author of Too Long in the Sun, drew a connection between solar deities and the anti-christ, something clicked with me. This author researched well, and supplies the reader with abundant footnotes to substantiate his claims. The book was just what I needed. Richard Rimes also has a website [...] with short, rather startling video introductions to his DVD series. Enough to get anyone started, who is curious and/or concerned that we all might be living in some type of Matrix full of myths and falsehood. Other books like this are Fossilized Customs, The Two Babylons, The National Sunday Law.

Good information on the origins of Christmas. Also, on the moving of the true Sabbath to "SUNDAY" instead of the way God established it to be on "SATURDAY". The Commandment reads "Remember THE sabbath and keep it holy"...it is day specific...or else it would have stated "Remember A sabbath and keep it holy." Although I do not subscribe to the SDA doctrine, the info on the origins of holidays is very accurate as far as I can find. A must have for anyone being moved into TRUTH about the celebrating of holidays by the Holy Spirit, to discontinue to be involved in man's traditions....refer to Jeremiah 10:1-7 about the paganism of it all.

This is an excellent reference book. Despite the one star reviews I see with baseless claims that this information is hooey, I have to say it's THEIR points of view that are biased. Mr. Rives is not the first, nor will he be the last to stand on the watch tower and sound the trumpet. His informaton is corroborated by volumes of Historical, archealogical and theolgical proof. I'm not talking about his references, I'm talking about cold-hard third-party data. Facts of History, and believe it or not, facts that the Catholic Church openly admits too. The reason I gave this a 4 star review, instead of 5, is simply because the information comes off a little hard to digest, even for the serious student. I'm also not a huge fan of the many different type-faces and sizes. I can see it does it's intended job, to grab your attention, but personally feel it takes away from such a serious and well-researched study. That said, read at your own risk. If you thirst for truth, you will love this book. If you are comfortable in your pew at your sunday social club...don't bother. You'll just end up mindlessly ranting, devoid of facts, like some of the other reviewers. Save yourself the heart-ache. Kudos to Mr. Rives. Well done.

The research of the book is right on. Takes concentration but well
worth the knowledge it offers. Goes right along with predictions
made in the Bible. Filled in a lot of blanks in my studies. I
think it was written for these end times.MUST READ! Our earlier
church fathers would turn over in their graves if they knew what
has filltered into our churches today.Its the extra oil we need in
the lamps of the wise virgins in Matt:25..Great Book

I give this book 3 stars because of the quasi-research the author conducted on the history of sun worship throughout the ages (particularly those that suit his agenda) and because it made me laugh out loud. The author's ability to imbed religious propaganda, zealotry and indignation within a historically pertinent humanities topic is commendable. Those who think this book is eye opening have been hiding behind their hymnbook for too long. The idea the paganism is the foundation for Christianity and most of its holidays is an old, tired topic. What I found most hilarious about this book is that the author calls sun worship (that from ancient times - the societies from which we have built modern day government, society, education and architecture), "satanic". Satan wasn't invented until the New Testament, so how can this comparison be anything other than pure, uneducated, bigoted bias? The Church doesn't care if you read this, they already know it - the current Pope has openly acknowledged some of it (read the news). What I would have liked is for the author to go further and detail more about sun worship in Christian (Catholic) idolatry. Take, for instance, the halo. Or the pope's monstrance. Or the wafer. Heck, if he wanted to really show how those "satanic" sun/son worshipers have infiltrated Christianity, he could have mentioned the letters S, F, S found on some of the monstrances. According to those who study pagan mysteries, those letters correspond to the number 6. Do you follow me here? If one is so riled by the origins of one's religion, perhaps it is time to examine the foundation of one's faith. You should believe in anything without picking it apart or degrading the beliefs of others. For those of you who wish to research the credibility of an author before buying into whatever he is trying to persuade you to believe (or to be incensed by), you should consider researching Rives. It makes this book even more fun to read. This is a great book if you have an open mind and enjoy way out in space (no pun intended) nonsense ranting presented under the guise of "enlightenment".
