Summary
This book is about a child who lived in a log cabin in the Ozarks Mountains, with no electricity and no plumbing, who later became a lifelong student and writer. It is about a child who always wondered what God looks like and, as an adult, developed her own scientific view of God.
This book is about:
- domestic violence, and the devastating effects it has on children in abusive homes, so it is addressed to all people in abusive relationships;
- children in both abusive and non-abusive homes who are exposed to violence in their music, their video games, their movies, their schools, and almost every of their lives, so it is addressed to parents, who are the primary people who can, and should, do something about it;
- a society that turns a blind eye to the growing violence in every aspect of our lives, so it is addressed to elected officials, indeed to everyone in this country who sees just how uncivilized we have become. We have become a country of large domestic violence, and the devastating effects it has on children in abusive homes, so it is addressed to all people in abusive relationships;
- children in both abusive and non-abusive homes who are exposed to violence in their music, their video games, their movies, their schools, and almost every of their lives, so it is addressed to parents, who are the primary people who can, and should, do something about it;
- a society that turns a blind eye to the growing violence in every aspect of our lives, so it is addressed to elected officials, indeed to everyone in this country who sees just how uncivilized we have become. We have become a country of large "me first" egos with souls obscured by money, greed, and power. We are a country of religions instead of God. There is a difference. We have substituted ego for self-esteem. "The Ten Commandments of Self -Esteem"
