Book excerpt: The original text of the Bible is, most definitely, the inspired "Word of God." It's most sacred pages offer to us instructions to accomplish two things: How to 1) conquer our mortal human life and 2) enhance our relationship with God. Unfortunately, due to man's selfishness and greed, the text was changed to cater to the desire of some to gain control over the wealth of this planet; with "woman" being the most sought after treasure. The changed version is being used to manipulate us into helping those, in control of the wealth, keep it. The book, A Race Diminished, as told by an African Tribal Historian named Mama Quena, offers an African Folklore version of the "Creation Story" of which she claimed is the truth about what really happened between God, Adam, Eve, Cain, Able, Lucifer, Homo erectus and Homo sapiens Humans, and the angels. I met Mama Quena while being stranded in a jungle located in Malawi, Central Africa. I am American and from Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The story Mama Quena shared with me has changed my life. My faith in God is even stronger. I have come to realize that God is so much more real and relevant in all our lives.
