           A Father Seeks to Reveal

                      Truths to All

          Introduction:

          This article has been extracted from the book,
          Future of God  Amen.   As the father of four
          beautiful, personal, intelligent girls, I wrote
          about a subject that has been a curiosity  of mine
          since I was a little boy; who was God and where
          did He come from?  My curiosity prompted me
          to attend Catholic, Methodists, Baptists,
          Protestant, and Jewish houses of worship.  After
          serving a few years in the Army, I read books by
          philosophers, religious scholars, and highly
          respected Egyptologists.  Late in life, that is,
          upon retiring at the age of 67, I wrote my first
          book titled, Legacy of a Father.  My attempt was
          to have my girls remember their father after I
