Book Cover & Preview Text
The God who created humans has nothing to do with such spcialties and preferences. In this book the name of God is written without any additions or conditions. All sensible humans know what humanism is and what good human values are, so nothing additional and nothing inconsistent with humanism is mentioned or preached.
The God
This God or that God,
Of turban's or the cap's God,
Of religion's or the priest's God,
Of West's or the East's God,
Which God, or whose God,
Not believe, or choose God,
Temple's God or minaret's God,
Not of free, but hostage's God,
Not certain, but uncertain God,
Of insane, not of sane God,
Only if God is The God,
Is God not this or that God.

About the Book
Author Chatha Akbar Ghulam believes God is universal. With love as his message, he shares a thought-provoking collection of essays, poems, and meditations illustrating how he has come to understand the concept of God and why he feels a loving heart is the only requirement needed to have faith in God.
Chatha shares how as a youth he came to discard the traditional teachings of heredity and customs and eventually achieved inner peace and contentment by recognizing universal good and truth. As he offers his opinion on such subjects as God and war, life and death, wisdom versus ignorance, the yearnings of a soul, and heaven and hell, Chatha provides a fresh, impartial perspective on God’s influence in today’s world. By sharing his thoughts on the differences between the self-righteous and true believers through personal anecdotes and inspiration from Punjabi mystic poets, Chatha quietly encourages spiritual seekers of all faiths to look inward and focus on gratitude rather than desires.
Faith, Not Religions offers one man’s inspiring reflections regarding his faith in God, his opinions on organized religions, and his journey to seek his own spiritual path in life.
