I have noticed in visiting with folks far and near that there were those who were "stuck" in old doctrines and traditions of teachings that denied basic understandings of the true nature and purposes of God as well as their own God-given power and ability. They were held under the influence of those who watered down the truth to fit the human condition rather than elevate the human condition to fit the truth. While others, perhaps more progressive in their knowledge of truth, suffered under the phenomena of knowing far more than their ability to apply it to daily living. They felt defeated, crushed and confused. In their quest for something real and true they often missed some very basic understandings and experiences along the way. I have come to call this "throwing the baby out with the bath water." This is throwing out the good and needful with the bad and confining. Both camps of spiritual thought needed foundational repairs and restructuring. A house cannot stand if parts of the foundation are missing. The desire to bring the best of both worlds together and preserve the truths each have, as well as the desire to see us all live and understand to our highest potential is what has motivated this book.
