Synopsis

Why YOU Should Read This Book Regardless of Your Religion:After being ordained a minister of the Gospel of Jesus by Mount Zion Church of God in Charlotte, N.C, I saw the priorities of African American and other churches. I realized that we don't worship God, we worship tribal religions. My book defines these and other divisions as reasons why we can not unite into one people, one world, in one accord. And that's why my book is not about Christianity. It is the about the collective wisdom of all religions - as opposed to often historical intentional misinterpretations many religious leaders use to isolate us to themselves. But, the best part is that you need not give up your own faith to accept what is written. I predict that after you read it, you'll want to tell others about it and as you tell them, they will see a new you. Hereafter let the miraculous power of brotherly love ease the burdens of the poor, heavy laden, down trodden and ill! Mel Reed, Servant To God, Servant To Mankind.

About the Author

In 1956, Author Mel Reed left Pine Plains (NY) High School without a diploma and entered the service. He was given training in heating, ventilating & air conditioning and spent one of his 6 years in Greenland. He was discharged in 1959. In 1960, he re-enlisted and based on computer test scores administered at Fort Dix NJ, his IQ tested high enough to be assigned to the Army Assistant Chief of Staff for intelligence in the Pentagon. He left the Army in 1961, worked for a ball bearing manufacturer and was hired by IBM in 1963. He would resign from IBM in 1970 to go into his own business and was rehired in 1973. In 1993, he retired from IBM after 27 years.During his career with IBM, he got to wear many hats, including management, quality engineering and systems and procedures analysis. His last assignment before retiring saw him responsible for the field quality of all mainframe circuit board fails used in system alterations worldwide. He did all this with self study and an Associate Degree from a university that advertised its degree program on the back of a book of matches. In 1977, he was granted a 6-month social leave of absence from IBM to write a C.E.T.A. title VI funded vocational training program in conjunction with Opportunities for Industrialization Centers. The program began with an enrollment of 80 students in classes held in the basement of the St. Francis AME Zion church, in Port Chester, NY. In February, 1981, he set out to write about how he started it with an initial grant of only $75,000, and a miracle happened that changed his life and produced this book.
