This book was written in 1967 and I read the 3rd edition which had been upgraded in 1984. I read this around 1985 and actually once spoke to the author on the phone. He truly loved God and was a humble man who expounded on the greatness of the sacrifice of Jesus. He stated that he hoped when he presented himself before God on judgement day that he would be told "Well done good and faithful servant". This book was written with that in mind. He felt that God created the universe in ages past. He felt there were "cavemen" who were destroyed along with dinosaurs in a "catastrophe" during the Ice Age when God's warnings were ignored, causing God to withhold life from the planet. God then started again by restoring the life of plants, animals and eventually Adam and then Eve. He taught Adam the "Star Gospel" which is God's plan taught through the Zodiac signs. He also felt that the Great Pyramid with various measurements of the pyramid itself and its inner rooms was built with the Star Gospel in mind. He also comes up with various statements about the inner workings of atoms , electrons and things he calls mitrons and poltrons. He basically has a theory of how God gives life to plants then animals then humans , then humans who relate to God on a spiritual basis.
Overall it is slow reading due to his sentences using multiple adjectives for many things. Still overall, I enjoyed reading this because not many others have even tried to put how God has worked out his plan for the universe and earth. The last few chapters are a timeline of Jesus's last hours, how we are saved through the sacrifice of the greatest human/god being who ever walked the earth, Jesus the Messiah who loved us so much that he came down from his exalted status as God and humbled himself for us. We hear that but don't often think of the many implications of his sacrifice and what God did to prepare the world for Jesus to do His work. This book with various inaccuracies and unsubstantiated comments still caused me to think about the work of Jesus in a way that I have to praise him for all He did for me.
