This book has a greater relevancy for our present times than when it was originally written. Herbert W. Armstrong was a man far ahead of his times in his thinking. The revelation of the deceptions of modern day xpistianity hit like a bombshell. The exposure of modern so-called "Christianity" is something any religionist of any stature at all should be well aware of. There is absolutely no doubt whatsoever that Herbert W. Armstrong knew whereof he spoke. It is all the more to their shame that so many modern day religionists rejected Mr. Armstrong and his teachings while he was yet living.

This book was an eye opener. It was not written by a man but it was inspired by God. If you read this book with the Bible next to it you will understand the Bible more and have a better understanding of life and God's way of life.

The teaching of Jesus Christ was never intended for everyone!
Only those God has called now can appreciate this book by Mr Herbert W Armstrong. This book is as 'spiritual' as most of the Bible. New revelation can be presented during any age, Mr Armstrong was the conduit through which God gave keys of understanding to this end-time generation! The books and aticles which have been banned by the new 'protestant' version of Worldwide Church of God, will continue to fall into the hands of those destined to be begotten of God!

As an ex-follower of Armstrong's religious cult, I believe I'm qualified to comment on this book, the man and his legacy. There are thousands upon thousands of people who were negatively and permanently affected by Armstrong's own mandated confused beliefs, and we would have been better off if he had kept working as an advertising man in the 1920's and never used those skills to push his uneducated religious agenda. This book, like all of his, was required reading for "church" members. When you want to believe in a man or his supposed-revelatory belief system, you try to ignore the doubtful statements, but eventually with Armstrong a point comes where you can't help but realize how ridiculous his statement are. The whole brainwashing cult-enforced "learning" experience collapses and reveals what's really there: deception, confusion, arrogance, ego and posturing, tremendous financial rewards for the figurehead at the extreme expense of the members. Any time one of the Worldwide Church of God members from Armstrong's era (still) refers to other believers as "so-called Christians", that should sum up the type of philosophy you're dealing with. Armstrong's claim that his voice "cries out amid religious confusion" is disgusting.
