Might I recommend Tolstoy's "Confessions" and "The Gospels in Brief?" I enjoyed your essay.

Your post script is what many say, "Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God, trust also in me." -- Christ

What about?

"Listen to your father, God within you. Let no one come between you." -- Jesus

Well, I don't know if Jesus said that. We all need to figure that one out for ourselves. Are we a follower of Christ or a brother to Jesus?

I look forward to more of your journey!
