Sin, Satan, Sex, or Self?: The Root Cause, Devolution, and Repentance. A New Framework to Understand Salvation in Christ

In Sin, Satan, Sex, or Self?, author Jeffrey Dutton Smith builds a new framework to understand salvation in Christ. The 20th century framework, as popularized by Billy Graham, was great for the 1950s but is increasingly irrelevant in today’s post-Christian era (as Chapter 7 of the book makes clear). The new framework starts at the root cause of all problems, explains a process called Devolution (pictured on the front cover), and builds to a final chapter where the role of the United States of America is explained. This new approach is analogous to what happens to a TV screen when rabbit ears are replaced with high definition cable. Additionally, two other titles by the author are included – Adam, Moses, Jesus, Abraham: Getting Closer to the Truth of the Gospel, and Returning to God, 3 Steps, 43 Minutes.

Jeffrey Dutton Smith grew up in a religious family but one that spurned the Bible in favor of titles like The Science of Mind by Ernest Holmes and Autobiography of a Yogi by Paramahansa Yogananda. He became a Christian at age 23, has a BA in History and an MBA, and was a Major in the United States Army. He says: "What you find inside this book may not be 100% of the complete Truth - I won't claim that. But it's pretty darn close! I guarantee a thought-provoking reading experience that will get you closer to the truth of the Gospel." www.JeffreyDuttonSmith.com/
