Dr. Louis Toth’s new book “Beware of the Man with Only One Religious Book! He Is Incapable of Knowing the Truth” is a thought-provoking work for devout readers


News Image

Louis Toth, Ph.D, is an Indiana native, US Air Force veteran, and son of Pentecostal ministers who has earned advanced degrees in multiple scientific disciplines and now lives in California with his wife of more than fifty years. He has published his new book “Beware of the Man with Only One Religious Book! He Is Incapable of Knowing the Truth”: a contemplative discussion of dogma and faith.

The author writes, “The thesis of this book is that people and religions that have one religious book as guidance cannot be true (in the larger sense of shared truth) and that government that are faith-based cannot represent all the people. Free and open discussions and serious debate are essential for arriving at truth and democratic government. And religion is detrimental to world peace.

The discussions presented assert that: there are many religions and that ALL their gods are ‘pretend’ (given arbitrary characteristics), and new gods/religions have been easily made by many persons who visit the desert, wilderness, mountain-top, or any place of solitude where they were able to receive god’s calling without witnesses, and then they decree that god wants to speak through them (and only to them) and echoed by their appointed priests. If they can get gullible people to follow them and their god’s rules, they can establish their own religion (and warriors).

The primary focus of the book’s discussions will be to establish ‘ground rules’ for establishing ‘truth’. Then as examples, discussions are presented with other explanations of “miracles” in order to reconsider some of the Bible dogma specifically attributed to Jehovah, Moses, Passover, and the roles of all the gods involved in the story of the Exodus.

The Bible (or Torah) may tell a different story when we discount miracles and explain them with other real possibilities. The conclusions may be different when we explore the plausibility that 1) Moses was the son of Pharaoh Amenhotep IV (later called Akhenaten who converted Egypt to a monotheistic religion) and Jochebed (a lesser wife—if married at all) and that 2) Moses was an Aten Priest who killed King Tut. The Exodus (and Adam and Eve) would have different explanations if Jehovah were not invented until on Mount Sinai in 1311 BCE (Before the Common Era) . . . not ‘In the Beginning’ of the existence of the world. Also, the Passover, ‘the Jews’ took in leaving Egypt would be logical if one sees Moses’ attempt to assert his claim to the pharaoh throne. And the Jews wandering in the desert would be reasonable if one considers that they were advised and supported by Moses’ father-in-law, Jethro, who was the nomadic high priest of the Druze religion (also a monotheistic type).

These possibilities are herein explored in some detail, and the events are presented with a ‘psychological history’ that includes the back stories, motivation, and relationships behind the characters and events. These discussions encourage rational thought and open-mindedness.”

Published by Page Publishing, Louis Toth’s engrossing book is a scientific exploration of accepted religious truths found across the sacred texts of multiple faiths.

Readers who wish to experience this engaging work can purchase “Beware of the Man with Only One Religious Book! He Is Incapable of Knowing the Truth” at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iTunes store, Amazon, Google Play, or Barnes and Noble.

Volume II” continues the author’s profound spiritual journey as he embraces a life of worship


News Image

“Moment by Moment I Pray: Volume II”: an inspiring autobiography that focuses on the events in the author’s prayer life as he stood back up and found the strength to continue writing and living. “Moment by Moment I Pray: Volume II” is the creation of published author Warren S. Banks, a family-oriented man.

Banks shares, “This is part 2 of Moment by Moment, I Pray, which deals with my praying life from September 1, 2016–April 30, 2017. The story behind part 2 is the same as that of part 1, which dealt with my prayer life from February 10, 2016 and ends on August 31, 2016. I found myself alone after the funeral of my beloved wife, Annie Jewel (Chief) Banks. We had been together almost fifty years. The funeral was held on Monday, January 5, 2015, at Ben Hill UMC, located in the heart of the Ben Hill community. After a forty-plus-mile drive to our birth home of Griffin, Georgia, she was laid to rest. Three days after her funeral, I took my original manuscript from a storage area in the house that we had made our home and had raised our family and went out into the backyard and destroyed all twenty-six thousand handwritten pages. I did not see the need to continue writing or to live. But that was January 8, 2015. I looked up into the heavens and asked the Lord what he wanted me to do. I said, Lord, I have pulled myself up from a small town in the state of Georgia named Griffin, Georgia. I had completed Fairmont High School, entered Clark College (now known as Clark Atlanta University); completion date was May 1970; completed Woodrow Wilson College of Law, Georgia State University Schools of Education for my first teacher’s certification to teach school and the School of Management.

“From 1966–1970, I completed my degree in sociology and psychology. During my senior year at Clark, I married the love of my life, Miss Annie Jewel Hosely, my high school sweetheart, also from Griffin, Georgia. We set up housekeeping in Atlanta, Georgia. But in January 1971, I was drafted into the Army and I was shipped to the Republic of South Vietnam to serve a tour of duty, as a squad leader, in a military police unit. I worked very hard and I was promoted to the rank of sergeant E5. I survived Vietnam and many other situations, but Chief’s death took a toll upon the very essence of my soul. But on February 12, 2016, I started back writing, and after a talk with the Lord, on September 17, 2018, I had handwritten about three thousand pages. At this point, I asked the Lord, ‘Lord, what do you want me to do?’ A soft but firm voice came to me, ‘Warren, my son, I want you to publish your story, which you have written in the form of a continued prayer.’ Well, looking back upon my life, the Lord has always been there for me, even when I thought my life was over.

“About seven days later, I was listening to my favorite gospel radio station. I heard his message, ‘If you are considering publishing your manuscript, call this number or go to this website.’ I was not quick enough to get the information down; therefore, I missed out on getting the information that I needed to make my contact. But a few days later, while I was again listening to the same radio station, that same message came again. This time, I was able to get the information that I needed and I made the contact. Within the next few minutes, I received a phone call. The person on the other end of the line said that she had been assigned from the Christian Faith Publishing Company to serve as my literary agent. I was told that she would me my guide throughout the production process. I was given information that I needed to mail my manuscript to. I mailed my manuscript off to the address that was given to me. Within a few days, I got a call from my agent indicating that my manuscript had been accepted for publication. I was really beside myself. I have been in constant prayer with my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. He saw so much more in me than I saw in myself. He said that he would never leave me nor forsake me, and he never has.”

Published by Christian Faith Publishing, Warren S. Banks’s new book is the poignant tale of a life that found light amidst the darkness of his personal struggles and embarked on a journey of worship. In this book, readers will have a glimpse of his transformed life.

Wisam B. Ra’ad’s newly released “The Internet of Heaven” is an electrifying story about a man’s journey of discovering a divine formula that can change the world


News Image

“The Internet of Heaven”: an intriguing story about a secretive man who ascertains the God Formula and uses it to seek control while keeping his true origins from others. “The Internet of Heaven” is the creation of published author Wisam B. Ra’ad, a passionate writer with a bachelor’s degree in industrial engineering from the University of Manitoba.

Ra’ad shares, “As a deep operative working alone for world peace, Sammy Hanna had been trained from a young age to be a warrior. One day, a new destiny dawned when he discovered what was referred to as the God Formula. It revealed what had been undefined and would produce extraordinary results. His objective was to obtain complete control. Sammy demonstrated his influence on Earth. A new age had come through takeovers of the internet, achieving higher levels of consciousness, recurring virgin births, and miracles.

“Sammy’s life was in constant danger throughout his existence. His identity was initially secret and his divinity unclear. His progress was crippled by an illness that caused him much pain and suffering. Through a series of highs and lows, dreams and hallucinations, he evolves in consciousness to realize a new human identity that will help shape the future. He was the most unlikely hero. He reveals himself slowly through lecturing and writing until there is no other conclusion that could be reached. Sammy had arrived and would change the path of humanity to avoid its destruction. He would neither confirm nor deny who he was, but all the evidence eventually pointed to him. His DNA was no longer double-helix-shaped but was a series of intertwined loops of infinity symbols. Everything was connected, infinitely.

“As the universe exposes its yet unseen beauty and expanse, many possibilities appear for all of us to explore. The novel is particularly relevant in a time of constant changes and advancements in technology. With international settings like Paris, Jerusalem, Toronto, and Dubai among others, the writing blends scientific facts with fictional creations.”

Published by Christian Faith Publishing, Wisam B. Ra’ad’s new book will take the readers on a worldwide expedition filled with thrilling circumstances surrounding the enigma and influence of a man with the greatest revolutionary blueprint at his disposal.

Dr. Tania Wiseman’s newly released “Dragon Slayers” brings a clearer understanding of one’s identity as a child of God and the wonders of His scripture


News Image

“Dragon Slayers”: a compelling read in getting to know the enemies and the swords one can use to slay them and stand with the army of the Savior. “Dragon Slayers” is the creation of published author Dr. Tania Wiseman, an evangelist and writer of numerous published poems and Christian articles in various magazines. She was the founder of Faith in Flight jail ministry and bible ministry and was the guest speaker and teacher.

Dr. Wiseman shares, “A warrior’s handbook, Dragon Slayers is written for everyday believers looking past the suggested steps and formulas that don’t work for the truth in warfare against the deadly enemy—Satan, the old dragon.

“This book is an in-depth teaching on what Satan saw, what he knows, and mind games he uses against us. Knowing your enemy is just the first step in the art of war. Learning the art of war will bring true, lasting victory each believer seeks to possess.

“This is a comprehensive guide into the biblical principles and knowledge we are to apply daily to our lives and situations. It gives us an understanding on how trusting and obeying with gathering the spiritual fruit we have plays into strategies in warfare against our enemy.

“It takes us into a richer, deeper relationship with Christ and brings the reader into the battle arena and why we must win the victory in all areas of the Christian walk.

“Being in the army of Christ is more than warming the church pew and raising a hand in praise now and then. You are called a warrior. You are an overcomer. You are the head and not the tail, above and not beneath. You are to know the enemy, to know the Word of God and apply it daily in your life and in every situation. You are a winner. You have the victory. You are to know that you are of a royal priesthood. You are a dragon slayer.”

Published by Christian Faith Publishing, Dr. Tania Wiseman’s new book is a profound key to building a closer and much more intimate relationship with the Savior as He guides one towards their life’s victory and grace.

Scathing Admonishment Published About U.S. Catholic Bishops, Caritas of Birmingham, Alabama


Donald Trump, Joe Biden, U.S. Bishops

Dear bishops, don’t be surprised when you wake up to find out how much respect you have lost by ignoring the majority of the Church

Terry Colafrancesco, president of Caritas of Birmingham, in Alabama, recently published a scathing piece on the silence of the church leadership during the recent U.S. Presidential Election. Here’s a few quotes from what Terry wrote:

“Sadly, most [Catholic] bishops are not doing their jobs, nor are many of our civil authorities. The sheep are being left to the wolves.”

“Among the bishops who do voice disapproval of what the left is doing, their protests are generally scant, weak and almost apologetic. They are either afraid of being accused of being political, don’t want to be tied up in controversy, or they sway the Church’s teachings to fit their beliefs.”

“There is a fishnet full of priests who have spoken out, but when they do, they are silenced. Many priests break their silence only to be threatened or crushed by their bishops.”

“The [U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops] does not respect us peasants in the pew. Their only concern is for indigenous people and those who come illegally into this nation. Dear bishops, don’t be surprised when you wake up to find out how much respect you have lost by ignoring the majority of the Church, the peasants in the pew.”

“Our country is in danger of being overthrown by godless, vile radicals. We are in a critical moment, and the bishops, in justice, should have stood up for Trump.”

Terry Colafrancesco is known for his many writings and broadcasts which promote the Medjugorje phenomenon, in which 6 people in the former Yugoslavia testified to have seen the Virgin Mary. Writing under the name of a “Friend of Medjugorje,” Terry knew the region of Yugoslavia while it was still under Communist rule, Terry sees the movement in the United States towards a socialist agenda as very alarming. Terry’s full writing can be read on Caritas of Birmingham’s website here.
