The first book, "In Search of the Way, the Truth, and the Life," explores the origins of religion and early beliefs—from prehistoric mysticism to the idea of a living God. The reader is invited on a fascinating journey of the human spirit highlighting the interconnectedness and a common vector of humanity’s religious search, which unraveled across continents spanning millennia: from Mesoamerica to the plains of Mesopotamia, from the emergence of the religious views of Egypt and India to the formation of ancient philosophies in China and Greece. The book recounts the emergence of the ancient Israel's religion that gave the world the liberating fire of Light and Truth culminating with the coming of the Messiah, His earthly life, and the victory over death. We learn that the spiritual quest of humanity was embodied in the person and teachings of Jesus Christ, and that His birth, for the most profound reasons, was the beginning of a new era—the era of the triumph of Truth.
