We use clich s and catch phrases every day of our lives in every area of life, including our walk with God. Some of the most common clich s of the Christian faith are words such as holiness, wholeness of heart, sanctification, the deeper walk, purity, cleansing, and Christlikeness. Great clich s, but what do they mean? What is their context?

Through a reflective engagement with Scripture, The God Plot invites readers to move beyond these familiar clich s and participate in something much bigger: the narrative of God with its unique setting, divine call, dilemma, heightening dilemma, and resolution.

The reader will be introduced to two dominant voices in the Bible that imaginatively and creatively unfold the plot of God: the prophetic voice and the priestly voice. Throughout The God Plot, readers will be invited to leave the spectator's balcony of familiar clich s and become participants in what God is doing in the world and desires to do in the lives of believers.

The author of "The Gospel of" "Inclusion" continues to rouse organized religion as he raises controversial issues and provides enlightening answers to the deepest questions about God and faith.

What is God? Where is God? Who is the one true God? Questions such as these have driven a thousand human struggles, through war, terrorism, and oppression. Humanity has responded by branching off into multiple religions, including Christianity, Judaism, Islam--each one pitted against the other. But it doesn't have to be that way.
In "God Is Not a Christian, nor a Jew, Muslim, Hindu" . . ., the provocative and acclaimed Bishop Carlton Pearson follows up on his celebrated first book, "The Gospel of Inclusion," to tackle these questions and many more, exploring new ideas about God and faith and putting forth the stunning assertion that God belongs to no particular religion but is an ever-loving presence available to all. For these beliefs, Bishop Pearson lost his thriving Pentecostal ministry but was catapulted instead into a greater pulpit. His readership has grown through appearances on national television and an extensive speaking schedule. With the world in the midst of a holy war, there is no better time for the wisdom of Bishop Pearson to reach a global audience.
Bishop Pearson's many loyal fans, along with new readers, will surely welcome this provocative and eye-opening exploration of a deeper faith, one that goes far beyond any fundamentalist way of thinking, be it Christian, Jewish, Muslim, Hindu, etc. Simply put, Bishop Pearson dares to tell the truth so many others are too afraid to face.
