With a mind-opening piece of art at the beginning of each chapter, readers won't be able to stop thinking the moment they decide to go for it.
"First Commandment Revisited: The Human Imperative" is the only book that dares to challenge humankinds intricate past and forces the question: Are human values derived from truth, or are they merely the results of persistent practice?
This book reveals innovative solutions to the worlds escalating evil, and underscores peoples inherent ability to resolve human conflicts. This book also demystifies God, disarms the devil, empowers humankind and removes war from the battle for peace.
Dam-Uyen Tran skillfully demonstrates that our perception of ourselves governs who we become, and our expectation of God defines who God is all within our minds. Tran suggests that what we pledge to uphold may not be for one another and what we profess may not be entirely about God.
The author walks readers passed the obstructions of the profane world to show them vividly, and tangibly, the image of God. Hell, heaven, and earth become rhythms rather than places full of fear, envy, and contempt.
Tran also shows how we can exterminate the devil and his evil underwriting, so that humankind can foster true relationships with the Almighty beyond eulogy, pretenses, and corruption.
Moreover, Tran explains how we can stop killing and maiming ourselves, and eliminate the necessity for wars, despite humans historical propensity for violence.
Trans humanity-altering work is a culmination of a life long of questioning human practices and how people adhere to claimed beliefs. More specifically, Tran explores how this integrated system of beliefs and practices govern humankinds treatment of one another, while they compete to survive.
Born in a war torn country that has never known freedom, poverty deprived a young boy of his rightful childhood and desolation torched away any dream of a future for him.
At 13 years old he resentfully became a boat kid, forged from circumstances of poverty that gripped his family of eight. Of course, millions of others were stricken, too, but he was fashioned by lifes harshness into a survival mode. This oldest sons main concerns were himself, his parents, and his five younger siblings two generations crying for help seemingly onto deaf ears.
This boat kid was safeguarded by Gods protective wings on his trek across the sea and his journey into adulthood. He doesnt seek greatness, but yearns for a day when generations can live prosperously together; and not merely survive.
Twenty years after bidding so long to his parents, brothers, and sisters for a remote chance abroad, he discovers yet a higher freedom. Now, he longs to share his discovery with people who have walked in similar shoes and those who have always been carried; those who are in desperation and those in abundance; those in solitude and those in love; and anyone in any walk of life.
To that end, he postponed his career, and wrote the one book that will change the world. So that when we commemorate Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., we not only remember a dream but celebrate a reality.
