Description

This book deals with the mis-identification of what we know as "Evil". In our mindless and desperate effort to define it, we have assigned to "it" a fictional entity and endowed that "being" with powers that far exceed our own. We rightly ridicule and dismiss such mythical beings as the Boogey-man or Santa Claus, yet we religiously accept and unwittingly enforce the idea of a real devil, when they have the same dis-qualifying attributes which disprove their existence. Those primarily being: (a) the lack of tangible evidence, and (b) no capacity for Omnipresence, (or the power to be everywhere simultaneously). As long as we continue punching (outward), we will never turn our focus (inward) to discover and reveal where "evil" derives its power to even exist in our realm of dominion.

Author Bio

Born and raised in Chicago, IL, Zerek L. Baker Sr. is the father of two children (Alleece and Zerek Jr.) and has been wed to his beautiful bride (Patrice) for over 40 years. He is an author and a man of Faith as well as an analytical thinker and one who is not reluctant to challenge traditional norms and look deeper into subjects that may be generally accepted as "just the way things are" by most people. He holds the view that we should examine more closely why and how it is that we come to believe most of the things we believe
In his first book (Porn-aholic, Expose the Secret and Save Your Life) he addressed the uncomfortable and often unspoken subject of pornography addiction, how to confront and to overcome it. In this his 2nd book, he also deals with a topic that some may find uncomfortable but that if rationally and unemotionally contemplated, may prove to actually bolster the confidence and conviction of every believer. Potentially arming them with renewed focus for their prayers and added confidence in the power of their decrees. His firm belief is that God has made us in His image and once we gain full understanding of what that represents, we'll know the true power that we (mankind) possess, to forever eradicate evil from our world.

(Gen. 11:6) "And the Lord said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do".
