Publisher's Synopsis
These 5 volumes of Love, Life and Freedom are written to inform & challenge all those who desire truth. All volumes make up an anthology of essays, sermons, scientific articles, confronting comments, warnings, urgings and some songs. They are written over time, reflecting one man's persistent pursuit of truth. By God's grace he found quite a bit of truth & insists they would be of no value unless it was freely shared with everybody and anybody. Thus, though there are convoluted arguments and complex scientific studies, the author is writing for all those whose desire to know everything outweighs all other passions. Since childhood he has wondered not only what and how but why: Why do humans act so strangely? Why did God create beings that bring Him so much grief? Why do couples mistreat their children? Why do homo sapiens parents destroy their young and thereby exterminate their species? Why did it take so long for humans to discover natural family planning and E=mc2? Why won't people investigate rapid orbital decay? And much more. If you have often wondered why, you will feel right at home. If you persist you will find some surprising discoveries that were brought to the attention of his elder, physician, sailor, politician, and songster. Don't be surprised that sometimes the tone is provocative. He is trying to keep you awake & alert. If any emotion pervades these pages it is a sense of urgency. Human history is cascading to an abrupt and very uncomfortable end. Dr. Philip Ney insists it is not too late to persuade God to relent but the present selfishness, disinterest, apathy and lethargy make the chances very slim. "Wake up, stand up, speak up NOW. For God's sake & the sake of humanity do it now. The author soon learned that truth is seldom popular but that most people push it away from themselves. It isn't that they don't know or can't know. It is because they easily sense what is true. They avoid truth because it is too disturbing. Yet beyond the many discouragements he tried to teach and lead by example. He has found the route to publication is strewn with phony hurdles for any who would write about what is politically incorrect. But he has never perished for lack of academic articles. For sure he would appreciate as much feed-back as you can give him. If in surprise, you might say, but for an academic, he is so prolife I can't (won't) believe him. He would probably respond with, "Yes, of course I am prolife. I am a physician. You wouldn't want a pro-death doctor would you?" In these volumes are written many prolife pieces that describe what lies behind the arguments. Says one wounded person, "You make it so clear, Doc. Why didn't I think about these things before I terminated Jimmy's life?" Behind it all is the persistent song of this author. A composer is who he was designed by God to become. His concern for wounded people over-rode his desire to share "The songs that Jesus loaned to me". In deep gloom and discouragement you can hear him softly singing old hymns and some brand new. A few samples are included to whet your interest in what God uses to sustain this wise and witty old warrior. Most of all he wants you to know all that he is, done and discovered comes from the Source of All Truth. He hopes you will discover, love and obey Him also. For God's Love started creation which brought forth Life which can be abundant if lived as a desire to know everything, especially your blueprint. For these will bring you fulfillment and Freedom. When asked, Philip summed the 3 volumes of "Love, Life and Freedom" with this; "The Son of God, the source and essence of all truth tells you. 'The truth will set you free.' I can attest it will. As a well-seasoned professor and scientist I assure you that truth is unitary. Good science and morality agree. If only out of fear and pride you don't push truth away from you. You will find truth and freedom. Don't turn away from Him"
