The first time He walked our Earth; He came to teach people the Way to inner peace and everlasting life without fear of death or oppression by those with religious or political power.
He failed.
As Jesus returns to save the world from darkness lurking just beyond the public eye, His presence challenges modern Christianity and the core beliefs of a religion founded in His name. The ensuing struggle to save humanity is on - in a good versus evil battle of epic proportions.
Book sales are moderate without much marketing currently being implemented. A greater marketing strategy upon the completion of No Religion (Episode 3 and the conclusion to the trilogy) should boost sales tremendously.
CHAPTER ONE
Jack saw the beggar as soon as he turned the corner from Mühlenbach Strasse to Heumarkt Gasse. The sight of him, on a street devoid of anyone else, transported Jack back twenty years to another beggar in Somalia. It was October 3, 1993 – day one of the Battle of Mogadishu.
The ear bud in Jack’s ear came alive, “Check out the bum, Jack.”
“Roger.” The microphone attached to his collar carried his reply back to the team leader. He altered his course down the rubble-strewn street toward the old man lying slumped against the wall of a burned out building. Behind him, his Delta Force team was arrayed in a staggered formation that provided maximum dispersion while maintaining visual and covering fire continuity with each other.
Jack approached the man cautiously, his eyes scanning the surrounding area, alert for an ambush.
The bum looked harmless – an old man down on his luck – but the Somali militia, loyal to the warlord Mohammad Aidid often used terrorist tactics, and placing a bomb on an innocent civilian was a tried and true method used by insurgent forces since Vietnam.
The man saw Jack approaching and struggled to get up. Jack stopped a couple of feet away. The bum reached up, silently asking for help.
