AVoice Críes
Out
Amid Religious
Confusion
Why the babyion of religious confusion in the world? Why so many differing re/igions? More than

Armstrong on the same tic/e as this
article. The book wi/1 appear in

H
ow could the world have
become so mixed up? Out
of this spi ritual wilderness,
a voice críes out in clarity
and power, decrying this world con–
fusion, with the reassuring TRUTH of
the world's only and SURE HOPE!
Chapter 1- Why This Book ?
What a travesty of truth!
Of all the religions on earth, save
the persecuted
true
Church of God,
founded
A.D. 31
by Jesus Christ,
NOT ONE knows
who
or
what
God
is!
NoT ONE knows
what
or
why
man
is!
NOT ONE knows the true
w
A
Y
to
happiness!
NoT ONE knows what happens in
the hereafter!
NOT ONE knows
WHY
humans

were placed on earth-the real PUR·
POSE and MEANING of life!
NoT ONE knows what
is
the gospel
of Jesus Christ! NoT ONE knows
how to bring WORLD PEACE!
lncredible? Yes, but TRUE!
The world's number one concern
today is the question of human sur–
viva!! Science and technology have
produced the weapons of mass de–
struction that could blast
a/1 human
lije
off this earth!
So many nations now possess
nuclear weapons that one madman
could ignite the nuclear World War
111 that could erase all human li fe
from this planet!
Yet the truth of God could have
saved humanity from this threat and
all its evils!
Stop a moment!
THINK on this!
You live in a world seemingly far
advanced in science, technology,
higher education and diffusion of
knowledge. We think it's a world of
GREAT PROGRESS. We send men
lO
cavort about on the moon, and return
them safely back to earth! Un–
manned spacecraft land on Mars,
and send back to earth close-up pho–
tographs of the Martian surface!
Other unmanned spacecraft fl y close
to Jupiter and send back astonishing
pictures of Jupiter! Surgeons trans–
plant human hearts!
It's a magic, entrancing push–
button world where work is done
largely by machines. It 's the glamour
dreamworld of the three "L's"–
leisure, luxury, and license.
But paradoxically, it's also a world
of IGNORANCE! Even the educated
know not
how to solve their problems
and the world's evils!
It
knows not
the way of PEACE or the TRUE VALUES
of life!
More than half of the world's
population is still illiterate, in the
grip of abject poverty, living in filth
and squalor! The grim reapers of
starvation and disease take human
Iives by the millions!
It's an unhappy, restless world in
frustration, staring a hopeless future
in the face. lt's a world ridden with
The
PLAIN TRUTH
