John ben Wilhelm, Independent Bible Researcher for more than forty seven years, brings a unique perspective to this book. Lutheran by birth, agnostic by choice, Christian by calling, accommodated to have experienced far more in the ways of the world than most folks. A husband of one wife for fifty seven years, a father of five, an artist, poet, architect, builder, business executive and minister of the gospel, all before a God-given commission to write, along with eighty years of living and observing changing events, allows the author a unique outlook on the world. The author subscribes to a biblical truth found at 1 Corinthians 1:27 in his own case and defers all credit for any discernment he may have gained to our creator and almighty God YHWH (Yahweh or Jehovah). "Instead, God deliberately chose things the world considers foolish in order to shame those who think they are wise. And he chose those who are powerless to shame those who are powerful". (1 Corinthians 1:27 New Living Translation)
