"I have never heard the Ten Commandments explained in a way that doesn’t make me cringe. Well done and thank you. I have a whole new vision of the possibilities of the Bible now." ~Y.S.
"I really cannot express how much your moderate, rational and overwhelmingly friendly view on things has changed my attitude towards true spirituality and made me realize that there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Thank you!" ~N.S.
"Your interpretation of the Bible is a breath of fresh air. Your non-literal view of the Bible would be considered heresy or satanic by some. Thank you for taking a stand and teaching a message so sound that it does not require a man to be fearful, ignorant or brainwashed to believe." ~M.T.
The Christian Right ... or Wrong?
Exposing the Corrupt Teachings of Corporate Christianity and Its Leading Media Evangelists…. by John Cord
Paperback - ISBN: 1-57733-142-7, 264 pages, 6x9, $16.95 www.bluedolphinpublishing.com
John Cord lays bare the false teachings of forty Christian leaders on such controversial topics as abortion, homosexuality, tithing, salvation, idolatry, and religious terrorism. These influential leaders, mostly American televangelists, include Jerry Falwell, Pat Robertson, Billy Graham, Robert Schuller, and Jimmy Swaggart. Cord studied over 700 hours of television ministries and talk shows, and provides verbatim excerpts of false religion, featuring interview segments conducted by Bill O'Reilly, Larry King, Geraldo Rivera, and Hannity & Colmes.
The Christian Right ... or Wrong? presents a robust sampling of the selfishness at the heart of corporate Christianity, whose age-old, "traditional" lies about God's Message shall, per Christ, be taught to the end.

The Egyptian Origin of Christianity
By: Lisa Ann Bargeman
ISBN: 1-57733-152-4, 132 pp., 17 photos, 6 x 9, paperback, $14.95 www.bluedolphinpublishing.com
The Egyptian Origin of Christianity focuses on the ceremonial parallels between the modern Roman Catholic Church and ancient Egyptian ceremony. While all forms of Christianity display strong parallels to the rituals of ancient Egypt, perhaps the strongest examples can be seen in Roman Catholicism.
Ancient travelers dispersed from North Africa, carrying with them their traditions and customs. The importance of the Egyptian sway can no longer be denied. It has prompted great thinkers like Siegfried Morenz, Director of the University of Liepzig Institute of Egyptology, to remark that "the influence of the Egyptian religion on posterity is mainly felt through Christianity and its antecedents. Egypt's contribution to the Old Testament is actually a product of that country's relationship with Syria; its contribution to the New Testament, indeed, even to early Christian theology, must be seen as a special instance of that general influence exerted by Egypt upon the Hellenistic world." It is this influence which is explored in The Egyptian Origin of Christianity in order that the true nature of religion as a whole may be elucidated.
The Fifth Gospel
New Evidence from the Tibetan, Urdu, Sanskrit, Arabic and Persian Sources About the Historical Life of Jesus Christ After Crucifixion
Fida Hassnain and Dahan Levi
ISBN: 978-1-57733-181-0, 344 pp., 6 x 9, paperback, $19.95 www.bluedolphinpublishing.com
The Fifth Gospel presents some compelling new evidence about the life of Jesus which has been derived from a variety of sources in the East which are unknown to most Western scholars.
By chance, one of the authors found, in 1965, a reference in Ladakh to the discovery of Buddhist scrolls about Jesus. Since then, the authors have been examining evidence about the survival of Jesus Christ at the time of the crucifixion, and his subsequent travels to the East.
The authors' main purpose in writing this book is to inform the West that "we in the East have some source material about the historical Jesus who lived on after the crucifixion.... This book was not written in one day, but is a result of many years' continued search for evidence," and provides research on some very compelling questions, such as:
• Did God descend on this earth as Jesus?
• Did Jesus visit India at age 13?
• Did Jesus survive his crucifixion?
• Was Jesus saved by his Essene friends, then traveled to the East, visiting many countries, finally settling in Kashmir?
Jesus has been mentioned in Oriental manuscripts by many names: Issa, Isa, Issana-deva, Isha Natha, Ishai, Isa Masih, Yusu, Yuzu, Yuzu-Kristo, Yuz-Asaph, and Yusu Masih. In some works, he is mentioned as Eshvara-putram, or the Son of God, and Kanaya-garbum or Born of a Girl. In some ancient manuscripts he is called Metteyya, which is equivalent to Messiah. In some Persian works, he is known as Nasrani or Kristani, which is equivalent to "of Nazareth" or Christian. It is also interesting that the Christians are known in the East as Nasaran and Kira. Jesus is also titled in the East as Ibn-i-Maryam or the Son of Mary.
Whether Jesus Christ did or did not die on the cross, or passed away naturally at an older age, like the Buddha, is a vital question in which not only Christians but others are keenly interested. For example, this book presents startling evidence about the tomb of Jesus or Yuzu-Asaph in Kashmir. The research will remain incomplete until this tomb is opened for investigation.
