The Road to Damascus

Summary: This is an amazingly profound book!
Review:

I don't usually read books of this kind, but I must say that I have been profoundly moved by this one.

I am a grandmother, from a fundamentalist Christian background, and lately I have been questioning the existence of God and my religion. I have had many questions that seemed unasnwerable.

This book has changed my view, and answered my questions. I am still a Christian, but I feel comfortable now with things that have disturbed me, in the past.

I cannot recommend Mr. Pierre's book too highly. He has made the answers seem clear to me.

Please, please read this book if you have any questions about the existence of God, or the meaning of life.

Summary: The Road to Damascus
Review: I feel that the author has acquired a superior grasp of many fundamental aspects of science and philosophy. His book is well written and conveys a message to readers that they should trust their own faculties of reasoning, rather than accept the teachings of "authorities" just because such opinions reflect a popular point of view. I recommend it to all who would seek a more realistic perspective.

Summary: This book is not for everybody, but it may be for you...
Review: One very popular view of things--a "secular view" to give it a name--is that things just happen to you in life with no rhyme or reason. Thus, you just happen to be reading this review of The Road to Damascus, just as you just happened to have been conceived, born, are now alive, etc..

That secular view will not survive a careful reading of this book. It will prove to you that nothing ever just happens to you. It will puncture the secular superstition that you are just a chip-in-a-stream, carried along by chance, unnoticed, uncared for, unloved. Once read, you will understand, perhaps for the first time, an exhilarating truth, namely, that it is time for you to shed the secular skin that has bound you in a tight embrace of being just one of billions of your species and essentially anonymous, literally nameless.

Yet, you do have a name! And if you listen carefully to yourself, that name is the bedrock of your consciousness and personal identity. It is the name "I am."

No one can say it for you, or take it from you! It is so real a name that it is yours forever, beyond death, possessed by you outside of time!

You are an "I." That is who you are and, if this is enough for God, it surely must be enough for you!

Well, is it enough for God? Read the book of the Exodus, 3:14. Do something to escalate your sense of being a somebody. An "I."

Joseph Pierre has crossed your path with this book of his. He wrote it for you personally. Don't miss your chance, your golden opportunity to credit yourself as the unique miracle that you represent and are. It's a sweat to read it, but Joseph Pierre has done most of the work for you already. He has put you on "cruise control." All you have to do is enjoy the fascinating ride!

John Cantwell Kiley, M.D., Ph.D., is a beneficiary of what Joseph Pierre knows. He is the author of some ten books, the latest being the forthcoming (in November, 1999) book, "Is the Pope Catholic?"
