[Semi-Fiction] Scriptural and Secular realities intensify this mythical journey to discover the truth about God.

    
     "Devastated by his young daughters' tragic death, Jacob is determined to find God to ask Him why He allowed her tragedy to occur. No longer sure where to find Him, or if God truly exists, Jacob travels through the 'Ancient Gates of Abraham' to wander across the contradictory   and prejudiced roads within the Kingdom of Religious Confusion.
 
     Repeatedly challenged to remain open-minded he engages religious leaders, devout followers, agnostics and atheists along passages as ‘Born again Street’, 'Fundamentalist Drive’, ’Junction of the Majority’, ‘Path of Disbelief’, and many more, in commonsense conversations to understand why their philosophy alone will lead him to God, or prove God's non-existence.
 
     Yet the further he travels the more confused he becomes, and it is not until his arduous journey nears its end that he recognizes a culminating revelation – insight he was not expecting to unearth.

Eloquently weaving fiction and facts, “Looking for God within the Kingdom of Religious Confusion” is a captivating, comparative, and enlightening tale of one man seeking to find God through the doctrines and discord between and within Judaism, Christianity, Islam, and Secularism. What he eventually will discover, transforms his life forever! Creative nonfiction; educational, captivating and to some, controversial. ‘Looking for God within the Kingdom of Religious Confusion' is not to proclaim I have found all the answers. It is simply one man’s fictional journey [based on religious and secular facts] to find his individual solution regarding God, religion and secular beliefs. His journey seeks answers to questions, such as; does God truly exist? If so, whose side is He on - Jews, Christians, Muslims, or one of hundreds of other religions? How accurate are the scriptures, and which ideology should I follow? As well, why God allows disasters, death, molestation, starvation, and other inhuman atrocities to be committed in His name? Or, are Atheists correct, and religion is man’s ancient tool for controlling mankind? “Looking for God... is entertaining, educational, factual, and offers those individuals seeking God, or other spirituality, the recognition they are not alone. Sankara Saranam, author of the acclaimed book; ‘God without Religion’ said of this story; "…this book is then both a bridge to nonfiction works that discuss religion in greater depth, as well as a map out of the confusion religions have wrought in the name of one God.” My story is not intended, nor attempts, to change the readers beliefs. It is simply one man's journey to find his answers, and open his mind.
