Light in the Midst of the Storm, Freedom From Religion. The Greatest Gift
“Some critical aspects of life’s meaning were absent in my early religious journey, especially for a little child trying to comprehend our purpose in life. The love, faith, unity, and friendship that I have come to discern as key to having a bona fide relationship with the Most High is challenging to observe and experience in some religions as practiced today. A feeling that something was missing led me to freely seek a better consciousness of life and its meaning at my own pace. As an imperfect person, I made many mistakes in my lifetime, even while growing more profound in my love and gratitude for the life and love that God gifted the universe—maturing with respect and appreciation for His most magnificent creation in our world: humankind.” – Chris D. Lovick, Jr.“
Light in the Midst of the Storm, Freedom From Religion, Liberation to Love with Limits” is a color illustrated book of deeply discussed spiritual messages centered around LOVE: The Greatest Gift. It is also a personal journal to capture your thoughts and reflection. Are you spiritual but not religious? Do you believe in a higher power? What is the purpose of human life? Who is God? Have religions lost their love? Who was your first love? Are you looking for life answers? Are we commanded to love ourselves? How important is self-love? How important is love in our relationships? What is the importance of friendship? Is all of humanity our neighbors?
Throughout our world’s history, people have been trying to make some sense of life, attempting to understand our purpose in it. Some ponder, while others are content with living comfortably within someone else’s dreams or paradigm.
Some religions have become more significant than the people they were intended to benefit. Or were they never meant to help the masses? Who profits most from religion? How does religion benefit our Creator?
Freedom is a vital aspect of love, yet some religions limit our liberty through traditions and rules. Maybe those religions are just some sort of control mechanism to stave off freedom and the threat of chaos? We can easily supersede and surpass our religions’ standards today by giving Love the highest value in life.
