humanity."
Amazon March 20, 2009 By johnny rinaldo (new york)
In a world dangerously dependent on fossil fuels and overwhelmed by population growth, could this be a defining moment, a once in a fourteen billion year break in time offering the human species one last chance to move from the "end of times" to the beginning of a new time ?
Q tells thinking Jews, Christians and Muslims how they can overcome the dissonance between their religious, social, political and economic beliefs and “Natural Order.” Natural Order is defined as the creative process that sustains and regenerates all forms of life on our planet.

Quotation from book
"We are fast approaching the tipping point beyond which Planet Earth will be unable to support human civilization as we know it. The beginnings of weather changes and biochemical alteration are in evidence. Before the end of the present century, there could be a sudden and dramatic reversal of sustainability. Q was written as a wake up call for a change in human consciousness. It offers a new paradigm for humanity, one calling for the exploration of religious, philosophical and economic forms able to place our species in a new and different relationship with Planet Earth and the Cosmos. It suggests a way for us to connect to the eternal source of our being. It offers a way for us to survive through this millennium.”

“I just finished reading your concluding chapter "New Dawns" for the 3rd time…. It is a remarkable piece of writing.... This is also dangerous writing and a parallel between John the Baptist and you came to mind…. You are truly writing in the spirit of the prophets….”

"Whether religious or not, if you live on Planet Earth and care for future generations, you should read this most important message to Humanity from a thorough, courageous and wise scholar. One of the most significant books of our time."

***
“With our human species spiralling to extinction, this book is a must read for everyone. Anderson clearly defines the 3 major religions on the planet, their origins, their differences and similarities, and warns us that if we don't come out of our boxes, it could mean the end of civilization as we know it. Very informative. Should be required reading for all of humanity.”

“The author effectively mines history to illustrate his points and his analysis of contemporary religious politics, including a fascinating investigation into the Bush Administration’s insistence on defining the enemy as evil, proves to be both convincing and frightening.”

“I gave a copy of your last chapter to each member of our extended family during our Grand Canyon reunion. With our many different backgrounds, religious beliefs, and life experiences I had no idea what the reaction would be. Each day we discussed it. Let me tell you; it was a deeply religious experience for all of us."
Joseph Justice, Parthenon Salon Studios, Boca Raton Florida

“The Frost quote indeed raised the hair on the back of my neck. Indeed prescient.”
***
“A clearly written piece on a very, very important subject with an unusual grasp for the important historical and theological factors needing discussion.”
***
“I do, however, agree that the statements of Jesus to Thomas are 'a call for a redefinition of the image of God' in the sense that Marcus Borg refers to as 'panentheism.' "
***
“Tillich's language of Ultimate Concern and Ground of our Being seem to me to sit comfortably beside your essay.”
***
“I was absolutely amazed at your ability to express so clearly in writing the ideas and feelings so many of us have in the Progressive Christianity community.”

“Based on what I read in your biography, we seem to share many views. I too have read Shelby Spong and Karen Armstrong and they have helped shape my current theology.”
POSTSCRIPT FROM THE AUTHOR
Nature
We do not control Nature. It controls us. We can only accomodate ourselves to its power over us.
It will take more than driving a hybrid car to change what has to be changed. For the sake of future generations, we must redefine ourselves against a new and in many ways radically different existential reality.
Is there the will ? This is the question of our age.
We are living in an over consumptive world, a world dangerously dependent on fossil fuels, a world overwhelmed by uncontrolled population growth and its ensuing industrial toxicity. This is a unique period in human history; a defining moment, a break in time giving our species what may be its last chance to move from "the end of times" to the beginning of a new time.
The God of Abraham will not be there to save those who, according to their faith, consider themselves the "chosen" ones. As the ecological tipping points cascade upon our planet one after the other, they will find themselves alone. As He is now, this God will remain silent.
Those over the centuries holding to a strict interpretation of the Jewish, Christian and Islamic faiths must accept much of the blame for our intransigence towards a solution to the ecological predicament in which we now find ourselves, for it is their understanding of the relationship between ourselves and Nature that gave our culture the hubristic notion we humans could be trusted with its custodianship. Their belief in the Genesis mandate to be stewards laid the foundation for their thought. Their apocalyptic belief then conveniently relieved them of any responsibility. Yahweh, God, Allah would end it all in His time.
We must now find the courage to re examine many of the beliefs that from the beginning of our religious history formed a vision of our relationship to this planet and the purpose of our lives on it. And, we must find the courage to rid ourselves of those beliefs that are in dissonance with a path towards the life sustaining regenerative process necessary for human survival.
It is the belief of this author that only then will we find the G-d we have been looking for all of these years.
And if we do not have the courage to find this G-d? What then? Like the dinosaurs, we will be left in the dust bin of planetary history.
