Story Behind The Book

What is the real relationship between the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, extraterrestrial visitors and the Society of Freemasons? Why do Freemasons figure so prominently in the classification of UFO and extraterrestrial information and programs? How do the answers explain the world in which we have lived since the early part of the nineteenth century? Teacher and author Matthew Heines takes you on a whirlwind tour of five thousand years of history and civilization to give you factual, historical, insights into some of the biggest deceptions, and connections of our time. Using historical texts and holy writings from Socrates to Stephen Hawking, Moses to Max Planck, from Saints to Satanists, Deceptions of the Ages, explains to you in an interesting and humorous way, how the conflicts between science and religion, and truth and secrecy have created the modern world.
