Synopsis
Our IDEOLATRY can skew our perspectives due to Life Filters that are created through our Observations and Experiences. The sophistication of todays technology can overwhelm us with a sense that all of the answers to our questions about Life and our Purpose are answered in the truth of science and technology. Placing the human intellect on a pedestal and worshipping its potential is the core of IDEOLATRY and can severely diminish mans ability to be completely fulfilled. Discover through Einstein's Theory of Relativity why we all have different versions of truth. Our relative perspectives and observations are key elements to our understanding of the world around us. However, there is a Higher Truth that goes beyond what we observe and experience. IDEOLATRY will help you unlock some of the mysteries of the Bible by discovering some answers to the vital questions that it explores such as: Who is God and what is He up to? How does He operate and what does He want? How do you see Him? Is God mad at me? Is He testing me? Is He judging me? Does God allow bad things to happen? Does He change His mind? What is Gods wrath and how does He act on it? What is Truth and who defines it? What is Ideolatry and why should I care? If God is not my problem, then who is?
IDEOLATRY - God is NOT Your Problem - The Character and Nature of God is a 432 page, 6x9, Hard Back full color book on textbook quality, 80lb matte paper. The 10 Tables, 36 Illustrations, a detailed Timeline and over 450 scripture references explore who and what God says that He is in the text of the Bible. 29 Chapters take the reader on a journey through the realms of both science and the Bible for self-discovery, understanding, and revelation. Scientific theories of relativity are used to explain how we view God on an individual basis. Various Biblical characters are explored to gain a deeper understanding of the motives of their actions as well as the intents of Gods purpose in their lives.
About the Author
Dr. Rich Masek achieved his degree in Dentistry in 1976 from the University of Southern Californian. He recognized that his dental career was important because he knew that God had directed his path as he only applied to one dental school when there were 3000 applicants for 120 student positions. Dr. Masek not only pursued excellence in his profession, he also continued to study Gods Word and develop a deepening relationship with Him.
Rich married Sheri, his beautiful wife of 40 years in 1975 and inherited a ready-made family of 3 girls whom he later adopted. Realizing his responsibility as the spiritual head of his family, he began to pursue deeper knowledge of Gods Word. His gift of teaching began through home Bible studies which he taught for 20+ years. Further developing the gift for teaching that God had entrusted with him, Rich became an international lecturer and author on esthetic and computerized dentistry, devoting a significant part of his professional career to teaching and the advancement of high technology in dentistry. It was during this time, while also teaching and developing Bible studies that God gave him the inspiration to write this book.
Rich joined the classes of an extension campus of Life Christian University at their church and over a 3 year period, Dr. Rich Masek achieved his Masters Degree in Theology! Balancing the time for all of the demand of caring for patients, family, professional teaching and university studies made it a bit challenging to pursue the calling of this book, but by little and by little it finally got done as in Exodus 23:29-30. IDEOLATRY was accepted as his Doctoral Dissertation which he is working to complete.
Rich continues to practice dentistry in San Diego, CA. He likes to spend time with Sheri, their two Yorkies, 3 daughters, 5 grandchildren and 2 great grandchildren when he is not being Dr. Masek providing patient care or busy writing a book.
