"Finding the Inward Path" - The author's hypothesis is that Jesus came not to build a church but to build an earthly kingdom. He asserts that in the modern world, the internal life of the Spirit has been replaced by the externals of religious rituals, doctrines, rules, and hierarchies. "For many of the faithful, church might have been a diversion, a detour, perhaps even an impediment toward inward spiritual growth." Believing that the kingdom of heaven is within, the author calls upon those who are ready and open to it to awaken to a higher level of consciousness in order to experience a true inner transformation of the heart..
