How I Escaped from Bloody Hell-X-ploring Freedom by Mary LaForge is a philosophical journey. This nonfiction book has earned the Literary Titan Book Award. LaForge is working on her next book to be released in 2022.
LaForge sets out to understand how a person who has never studied scripture can suddenly recall it. In her own words, “ESCAPED is a mashup of Postmodern imagery and revealing insights as well as a Nikola Tesla concept all stirred up together with a pinch of scripture.” While it sounds like an odd combination, her quotes from Tesla and the scripture she chose, worked to solidify the points that she was making. She touched on concepts such as monism, duality, and the world.
How I Escaped from Bloody Hell gives the reader an inside look into reality and the universe from LaForge’s perspective. It is a deep, philosophical book. LaForge gives some intriguing synonyms for God that make you stop and think. They seem like common sense, but you will see God in a new and different way, simply from the synonyms she has chosen. This book answers a lot of questions but leaves you with questions as well. One of the strong points of this book is that LaForge gives several examples for each concept that she explains, which helps with the overall understanding of the book.
This book made my head hurt. It is heavy in science and even has math formula’s which are not my strong suit. This book is best if read slowly to take in the concepts that are being explained.
I would recommend How I Escaped from Bloody Hell to those who would enjoy a unique perspective on humanity, God, and the universe. It is a quick read, with very deep thoughts.
