About the Book

Two thousand years ago Jesus came to establish the kingdom of God. Jesus came not to judge us but to save us, as Pogo the comic strip character put it “From our selves”. Too many of us have hate in our hearts where there should be love, greed in our hearts where there should be generosity, and hard heartedness in our hearts where there should be compassion. The list goes on. Jesus spells out how to enter the kingdom of God by accomplishing, by God’s grace, the emotional “Flip” within us from following the evolutionary selfish emotions of our genetic forbears, to embracing the dual emotions of God’s own virtues. Jesus spoke God’s truth in parables based on the agricultural nature of life in his time. We recast Jesus’ emotional dualisms into the scientific understanding of our present age.
