Introduction  

There are many gospels and holy books recorded by diverse cultures in what were generally perceived as times of great need. It is no mistake of history that such good words come at strategic moments. I propose that our own need now is as great.

Unlike preceding generations, the issues we face involve not only life and death but for the first time the creation of human life outside the body. Yet, even as we endeavor to create life through alternate means, the born and the unborn are callously put to death, many go hungry, and many more are taken by curable illnesses. All the while, those of faith argue self-righteously amongst themselves, selectively citing ancient scriptures to justify wrongful words and deeds. In the end, the most fundamental concepts of love and respect for life that underlie their sacred texts and belief systems go shamefully ignored.

The messages contained in The Book of Context advocate for our children and all the future generations that rely on us to secure for them a safe and joyful place in life. They appeal to our hearts and minds on behalf of their well-being, as well as our own. They tell us what we need to know for the next leg of the human journey. Just as importantly, they speak directly to you about your purpose in being, and assert your importance in the long cord of life that is human existence.

If you read this short text carefully you will surely hear something infinitely caring and loving speaking in plain voice. Whether you believe in a higher power or not, or view God in the singular or plural, as a consciousness, male, female or other form is unimportant. The gender-specific words used here simply relate to how God's voice comes to me. It comes as my Father and so I refer to (Him) in those terms. But in doing so, I recognize that such references appeal to my personal vision of God – one that may differ considerably from yours.

If you choose the path set forth in The Book of Context, I promise you will find someone wonderful waiting along the way. Perhaps it will be the God you have consciously or unconsciously sought, or simply reinforce an existing belief. In the end, however, all that matters is that you take the path, not that you overtly seek its creator. In steadfastly walking the path you inevitably perform service to yourself, others and to God in the only manner of true significance – by doing.

So now, begin the journey. Someone awaits you, knowing of your name and grateful you have chosen to come this way.
