The Religious Transaction: Is God Worth the Effort?

Think about this: would you still love and worship Jesus if you knew that his death did not guarantee a spot in heaven? What if, instead, worshipping Satan guaranteed a spot in heaven? Would you still worship Jesus?

Based on my experiences, this book lays out the framework for viewing religion through a transactional lens. This lens aims to provide you with a new paradigm. Instead of asking if religion is true, this paradigm asks if it is worth it for you. Like the thousands of philosophers who came before you, you may not be able to decide if religion is true. However, you should find it much easier to decide if it is worth it for you. It transforms a universal question into a personal one.

Hopefully, this book gives you a fresh new perspective for viewing religion. Do not dismiss this perspective just because it could damage or contradict your faith—you have every right to ask if religion is worth your effort. I encourage you to take the plunge and join me in exploring the religious transaction.
