“1 Thessalonians 5:21 ―But examine everything carefully; hold fast to that which is good.” R.K. Sidler challenges readers to examine their beliefs in his book, What Religions Don’t Want You To Know. The purpose of this book is to encourage readers to cut through manmade doctrine and find a true walk with God. Sidler feels that we each should do research and study rather than depend on an organization or person to interpret scriptures and tell us what we believe. Proverbs 14:15 "The naive believes everything, But the sensible man considers his steps." A few of Sidler’s points are: it is not necessary to belong to a religion to have a close walk with God, religion has become a multimillion dollar business, and “religions use God. God does not need religion.”
In What Religions Don’t Want You To Know came in at the perfect time. I was questioning certain “beliefs” and their origin. Like the author I came to the conclusion that man has muddied the waters by creating doctrine. Man likes to take God’s word and add rules. If we look at the Jewish people, God gave them the 10 Commandments, Mosaic Law. Unfortunately, they were not satisfied; they began to add more and more laws.
It is obvious that R.K. Sidler has put much time, effort and research into his book. While the book may be daunting to some, it is definitely a book that should be read. The author uses scripture to support his theory. I enjoyed reading about the many different religions. Sidler has included a lot of information I was not familiar with. I’m glad I read this book. I suggest others will benefit from the information.
