Summary

In this book God is revealed outside of any religious view in order to convey the truest conception possible. Any religion, whatever it might be, will always claim God for itself in an exclusionary fashion. In other words, you must be a follower of the chosen faith before God will accept you and welcome you into his kingdom. Wells rejects this view any man or woman who accepts Gods love in their own way, and connects to their own creator, is fine. An intermediary, despite what they might preach from whatever pulpits they use, is not necessary. We are all seeking the same God, so to be dogmatic within a certain exclusionary faith is small-minded and petty. If you want to grow up, spiritually, then this book is for you. Chapters include The Cosmogony of Modern Religion; Heresies, or the Things that God is Not; The Likeness of God; The Religion of Atheists; The Invisible King; Modern Ideas of Sin and Damnation; The Idea of a Church; and The Envoy, one of the best last chapters of any book hes written.
