Synopsis

All of the volumes in the Schoolhouse Earth Books series are based on my belief that Earth is a school and that, based on my performance, I must have flunked out of somewhere else or been expelled as a behavior problem. The wise old sage that saved my life told me: "Religion is for people who don't want to go to Hell. Spirituality is for those who have been to Hell and don't want to go back. After a lifetime of looking for fulfillment in all the wrong places I had to get rid of a bunch of old ideas and embrace some new ones. Enclosed is a set of spiritual observations, activities and principles which will fill the void that you have been trying to fill with Stuff. These easy to follow directions will bring you a new joy, no matter what your religious beliefs are. They are equally effective for those who do not have a religion or a spiritual connection at all. Many of the Spiritual Practices presented in this volume also appear in Salesmen Can Go to Heaven! and Stop Smoking the Hard Way. Each of these books explains how the reader can put these Spiritual Practices into daily use.

About this title

About the Author:

Scott Lee Bio I was raised in the Presbyterian Church and am a graduate of The University of the South. I had the privilege of serving in the United States Air Force as a pilot for 5 years and was honorably discharged in 1971. I have been a Manufacturer’s Representative since then. I had a “burning bush” conversion experience in the summer of 1984 while I was being treated for alcoholism and drug addiction and have been clean and sober since. When I am asked what my religion is I usually say something like, “I’m trying to be a Christian.” By that I mean that I believe Peter was correct, that Jesus is The Christ and that I am imperfectly following Him to the best of my willingness, probably never to the best of my ability. One of my teachers told me that he treats God like a gentleman. Gentlemen don’t go where they are not invited and they don’t stay where they are not made welcome. When I awaken every morning I invite Him into my life as Lord, Savior and Manager, not helper. Then I try to conduct myself all day long in a manner that I think will make Him welcome. It has been my privilege to take spiritual meetings into jails, prisons and other assorted facilities for 27 years. I’m not sure if my spiritual message has helped any of those people but I am sure that trying to carry His Message continues to help me. The Schoolhouse Earth Books are a continued attempt to carry His Message.
