The Bible describes God's ways as a light burden, simple enough to teach children. Yet, this contradicts what most Christians experience.

That needs to change.

Without complicated theology, God Makes Us Holy guides the reader through restoration, regeneration, sanctification, and resurrection. These basic processes define sin, evil, and the excuses we use to accept them as normal. But mostly, they show God's desire to mold us into His holy likeness.

God takes us as we are and is sensitive to our needs. He individualizes His methods and timing to benefit each person. God knocks. We must answer. His repeated efforts gently transform willing believers.

The process is not always easy, but joy comes each time we find God's great love, abundant mercy, and willing forgiveness. God Makes Us Holy is simple enough for children and deep enough to live.

Many people in my generation left the church because the beliefs preached contradicted science. In fact, the first sermon I remember taught dinosaurs never existed.

I was seven, and I loved God. Science fascinated me. Those passions led to fifty plus years of questioning everything taught on both sides. I needed a way to appreciate nature without rejecting God or the Bible.

God provided the answer.

Over hundreds of years, scientists removed false information that ancient people believed. What they discovered marveled them all. At the same time, religion held tightly to the traditions based on those same old teachings. Preachers insisted they were from God. They were not.

Once removed, the impossible happened. The Bronze Age biblical account of creation outlined 21^st century sciences beautifully. That means, modern science gives strong circumstantial evidence for the belief in God.

Creator's Parables tells of my journey through the mess of Christian theologies defining the basic nature of our Creator and a spiritual existence.

Greek philosophies came into play. They distorted Jewish beliefs hundreds of years before Jesus. They blossomed with the first non-Jewish converts to Christianity. They grew into many polytheistic forms still held today.

The Bible made one point repeatedly, One Living God, all others are myths invented by man. However, the believers throughout the Bible accepted the existence of other gods even when they only worshiped the One. That let too many fear and worship their neighbor's gods.

I found the same tendency within Christianity. Instead of gods, other spiritual beings are held as fearful or worthy of worship: angels, saints, demons, and Satan. The myths surrounding them came from neighboring religions and our imagination. The beliefs are not biblical, yet believers insist they are reality.

I asked, "How did God describe himself through the prophets?"
