Book Cover & Preview Text
American society is falling apart. Its values are distorted and there is economic injusticen that is forcing ever more people out of their jobs and their homes. The streets are filling up with people holding cardboard signs asking for help, while Wall Street bankers take home retention bonuses paid for by the taxpayers. The church of today is fractured and weak. It competes with itself rather than being a unified voice in society. Academic issues separate the church. Author Whitcomb takes the reader through the efvolution of religion and its dogma and challenges the reader to decide for himself or herself what are the real issues. He believes that if the church can unify, it may rescue the American Empire from collapse, even if the church of the 5th century failed to save Rome. This is a non-technical book written for the inquisitive.

About the Book
Have you ever considered the fall of the American Empire? Neither did the Romans; but the Roman Empire collapsed mightily. The birth of the American Catholic Church separated from Rome? It will come. The unification of the American Catholic Church with the Progressive Christian Church—it’s coming. The end of the designations Protestant and Catholic—it’s time. The Reformation is over. Christians must unify and step up together to help save America before her infrastructure collapses. Norman Whitcomb is a layperson who wants to stir clergy, laypeople, and social activists alike to get both our country and church back on track. If economic imbalance gets much further out of kilter our economy will collapse. In Myopic Man, he takes the reader on his own spiritual journey and challenges others to do the same. He traces the evolution of both Hebrew and Christian religions and then to the dogma that was created that separates us. Norman believes that church dogma belongs only to the clergy that developed it, and that laypeople are much closer to agreement with the core elements of the Christian faith than clergy assume.
