Most Americans believe in God, Jesus, Buddha, \u003cbr\u003eMohammad, an afterlife, or the supernatural. While exploring the spiritual\u003cbr\u003erealm is fascinating, it also presents a space that has long been exploited by\u003cbr\u003ehigh-demand religions, con artists, abusers, and other predators.  \"Monetizing Jesus\" spotlights the predatory behaviors\u003cbr\u003ethat bait followers with Jesus or other esteemed figures. Predators initially\u003cbr\u003epromote noble values of \"mind, body, and soul\" but subtly shift to their real\u003cbr\u003eagenda of \"power, sex, and money.\" The problem is that predators cause significant harm\u003cbr\u003e through their charming but totalitarian schemes. Behind their slick\u003cbr\u003enarratives, a predator's dogmas and rituals contribute little to solving the\u003cbr\u003eworld's real troubles. They put God behind a paywall. The genius of Jesus is that he shook up the status quo and\u003cbr\u003etaught his followers to test the evidence. He seemed to love a good debate. In\u003cbr\u003ean egocentric and sociocentric society, Jesus introduced a fresh, world-centric\u003cbr\u003eperspective. The real Jesus rejected a materialistic lifestyle. He had a\u003cbr\u003eglobal concern for the poor, hungry, sick, imprisoned, and elderly. Jesus'\u003cbr\u003eharshest criticisms targeted hypocritical church leaders and child abusers. The solution lies with principled people who share these\u003cbr\u003evalues. They are evidence-based, insist on full financial disclosures and\u003cbr\u003egetting the complete story from all sides. Principled people reject motivated\u003cbr\u003ereasoning, undue influence, and logical fallacies. Of course, they report any\u003cbr\u003eallegations of crime to law enforcement. \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"Monetizing Jesus\" examines predator-prey dynamics and\u003cbr\u003eprincipled worldviews. Regardless of one's spiritual beliefs or unbelief, \u003cbr\u003eprincipled people think critically, go beyond their comfort zones, judge less, \u003cbr\u003eand understand more. All of this is in an effort to think globally, stand for\u003cbr\u003esomething, and contribute to humanity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Glen Randall Bell Phd\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798218384661\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Core Iq, Inc.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/15\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 228\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Glen Randall Bell Phd","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48743022166271,"sku":"9798218384661","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/monetizing-jesus-glen-randall-bell-phd-9798218384661","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
