Publisher's Synopsis
This is not the Genesis you were taught.
This is the Genesis you always felt but were never allowed to speak.
In The Gospel of the Self, author C. Rice reclaims the first book of the Bible and reinterprets it through the eyes of divine consciousness-not as a distant, wrathful God above, but as the I AM within. This isn't a rebellion against scripture. It's a return to its original purpose: to help us remember who we are and why we're here.
You won't find fire-and-brimstone warnings or moral obedience sermons here.
You'll find something far more powerful:
A God that doesn't demand worship-but awakening.
A creation story that doesn't shame-but invites.
A gospel not of sin and separation-but of selfhood and sovereignty.
This reimagined Genesis tells the story of humanity's divine forgetting, the sacred experience of amnesia, and the slow-burning return to remembrance. Each chapter reads like a mirror-inviting you to see your own journey, not just Adam's or Eve's. From the first breath to the fall, from the flood to the freedom, the entire book pulses with one central truth:
"I AM what I AM."
Perfect for spiritual seekers, deconstructing believers, mystics, or anyone who's felt the old ways no longer speak to them-The Gospel of the Self is both a comfort and a challenge. It's not here to tell you what to believe. It's here to help you remember what you've always known.
This is not blasphemy.
This is your origin story, rewritten from within.
