Description

Description Humanism vs Creationism is a book about mental illness in the church. This book will get a glimpse of the author's historical feelings about the church and how they treat some mentally ill people and then with the philosophical part of the book will get the reader to think on the subject, challenging their convictions. Especially when it comes from a member of the church which will be unique for them. Because the reader will see the church in a different light. And they will be able to see the difference between what faith is and what legalism is in traditional and institutional religion like the church of England and the Catholic church and because the author has been wounded by the church and have found a positive way to look at my pain while in the church they will be able to understand the art of forgiveness and much more. About the Author Born in 1964, Smith suffered sexual and psychological abuse as a small child at the hands of his local church minister. Struggling to cope with the effects this had on him and being bombarded with religious and bullying abuse he developed schizophrenia at the age of 15. Smith has, despite all the odds, worked hard to regain control of his life by taking on board the advice of his counsellor. He has travelled and worked and his life is now taking an up turn. We are proud to have published his first two books and to be publishing this, his third book. We hope there are many more to come.
