American Relgions and Cults

A Blue Angel ...like a fire that turns blue

American Religions and the Genius Behind Them
A book by Edward Rice 1982

The Shaker
The Mormans
Christain Science
The Millennium: Aventist and Witnesses
Holiness and Pentecostalism
American Indian Religions
The Muslims
Sects and Cults
And further readings

This book has a report about each religion. Read it with caution, in my opinion this book helped me see into the mind of these religions better even though the author seems overly sympathetic, but he does give a clear report on each religion listed.
Personally i think that such religions miss the point, the point is "To trust only in the Creator and to keep Mercy and Justice to seek peace" and not to trust those of or in the world whether they are trust worthy saints or not, how could they miss this in all thier searches in the bible and elsewhere is a mystery... The heart is desperate above all things A quote in Proverbs of Solomon.

May you have mercy on the poor and the needy..the poor are those who live in peace who do not get rich on warfare, p means peace in our words.

Quest for Time

In this drawing above he is filming a hydra.

Quest for The Future 1970 pages 253
By A.E. Van Vogt

My Review: Immortality science fiction. Interesting read, i recommend it ...Caxton, what a name ...a selfish paranoid loner looking for immortality.
I agree that the heart is desperate above all matters and a man does need a prospect, looking at the clouds all the time is sure to be lulling. I know this: Mankind hopes for all to live and that his hope for all to live will come to pass...written in the bible in what some call the old testament, and I believe and hope in this too.

Plague Science Fiction Story.
Pages 166

My review: Great story of goodwill in the space coloney frontiers. Do you think it takes 50 years to learn how to work? The 102 year old Farmer in the story thinks so. Then maybe its true for some if the world is against you so much. Long live the good in heart farmers in life.

The Hate Genius
Doc Savage series 1979 book 143
By Lester Dent "Kenneth Robeson house name"

My review: Superhuman Detective Fiction. .... O.K. but somewhat haphazard plot...Doc Savages seems to be following blind fate in this story....main focus is that Hitler tries to hide with a double in his place....Do you think evil leaders can get away that easy by getting a double for themselves? I think they have no where to hide.

Tomorro plus X also published as "Time Bomb"

By Wilson Tucker 1955
Patriot Science Fiction Thriller

My Review: This book is worth reading.... a story about U.S patriots..its extreme patriotism to build a time machine. I personally don't believe in killing others to bring justice to pass but i believe in bringing them to court for going against the freedom of U.S patriots. But/and grief has its own plans.
