He was dropped behind enemy lines for a work of sabotage. Seven remarkable parallels between Genesis and the Gospel of John describe His work and confront the status quo of a significant component of contemporary worship in Christendom.

There may not be a straight line connection between Richard Dawkins' best seller, "The God Delusion" and the day God was "refreshed," but by connecting the dots we might discover a vital purpose of one of God's greatest gifts to the human race.
