Many people use the Bible the way a drunk might use a lamppost, that is for support of their own prejudicial misconceptions rather than for any kind of enlightenment. This book details such misuses and points to a holistic method for understanding what the Bible really says.

This book, presenting the mathematical structure of the Bible, was given by inspiration of the Holy Ghost, the Author is the Alpha & the Omega. His name is Yeshua, Salvation, Jesus Christ by Which all things were created; He is the Father, Son & Holy Ghost. The Author brings for the Word of God so really that the truth comes to revelation & leads one to know that the Spirit cannot be seen, but Jesus Christ is the Spirit. The Living Word of God becomes alive & reveals Himself as Spirit & Truth & shall come again in Glory. Words can be changed & given private interpretation, but numbers remain the same in all languages & dialects. The Author did not put all of His Word into this book, but enough of it to convince the reader that THE ARITHMETIC OF GOD will bring on a unity of the faith which is Spirit & Truth. This is not some commentary of the Word of God, but is infallible proof that men of God, written with the mind of Jehovah. The scribe who penned this book has only written what the audible voice of God revealed to him, no more & no less. What God reveals to you by this revelation will be the knowledge & wisdom of God Jehovah, Jesus Christ, it will not be of man. Don Kistler, a Jew completed, is the scribe of this revelation hid since the foundation of the world for this end-time generation. Order from: The Arithmetic of God, P.O.

New York Times Bestseller • Finalist for the Pulitzer Prize • An Oprah's Book Club Selection “Powerful . . . [Kingsolver] has with infinitely steady hands worked the prickly threads of religion, politics, race, sin and redemption into a thing of terrible beauty.” —Los Angeles Times Book Review The Poisonwood Bible, now celebrating its 25th anniversary, established Barbara Kingsolver as one of the most thoughtful and daring of modern writers. Taking its place alongside the classic works of postcolonial literature, it is a suspenseful epic of one family's tragic undoing and remarkable reconstruction over the course of three decades in Africa. The story is told by the wife and four daughters of Nathan Price, a fierce, evangelical Baptist who takes his family and mission to the Belgian Congo in 1959. They carry with them everything they believe they will need from home, but soon find that all of it—from garden seeds to Scripture—is calamitously transformed on African soil. The novel is set against one of the most dramatic political chronicles of the twentieth century: the Congo's fight for independence from Belgium, the murder of its first elected prime minister, the CIA coup to install his replacement, and the insidious progress of a world economic order that robs the fledgling African nation of its autonomy. Against this backdrop, Orleanna Price reconstructs the story of her evangelist husband's part in the Western assault on Africa, a tale indelibly darkened by her own losses and unanswerable questions about her own culpability. Also narrating the story, by turns, are her four daughters—the teenaged Rachel; adolescent twins Leah and Adah; and Ruth May, a prescient five-year-old. These sharply observant girls, who arrive in the Congo with racial preconceptions forged in 1950s Georgia, will be marked in surprisingly different ways by their father's intractable mission, and by Africa itself. Ultimately each must strike her own separate path to salvation. Their passionately intertwined stories become a compelling exploration of moral risk and personal responsibility.
