2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Read this book!By lichenThe pagan-Egyptian roots of all the major religions are traced back to solar or sun worship in this book. Symbols of religion; masonry; government; on the dollar bill; explained. Religion and government were once one and the same; are they still? And what the heck is up with all the secret societies that appear to have control over government and politics? Why have so many U.S. presidents been masons? Has the U.S. become a corporation and not a country?1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. An Interesting ReadBy Jolene P DuffI like it and read it straight through; it's a quick read and an interesting one... lead me to the Manly P. Hall books which I believe a lot of this information originated from however; Jordan Maxwell lays it out for a quick read and anyone can grasp his meaning...19 of 20 people found the following review helpful. Good Book if You're Already Familiar With Jordan Maxwell's WorkBy AbeIf you're already familiar with Jordan's work; then this would be a great read for you. There are alot of familiar topics such as secret societies; the fact that all of the problems that we see with the world; may very well be going perfectly according to plan from some people's point of view. If you've seen most of his videos; then there's not much new information to find here; but if you haven't paid to watch them; why not support his work by buying the book anyway.If you're not already familiary with Jordan's work; then get ready for some homework! A lot of the stuff that he says might cause you to say "no-way" when he talks about politics; religion and government. Your best bet is to take notes and then do your own independent research and then make up your mind. One issue I noticed is that there's a big difference between reading his work and hearing him talk about it. I think there's some important information that gets lost in the written form when compared to his videos. Seeing him give a presentation you can pick up on his emphasis and pronounciation of certain words that you might not notice by just reading it.I highly recommend this book and I think it would be great if he offered an audiobook version at some point read by him.
