The Misrepresented God tells the truth about who the Creator is. This book analyzes what religion says about God's heart and personality and measures it up to what God revealed about himself through his beloved son, Jesus Christ.

This book takes that twisted mess and replaces it with one soft, warm light of truth that anyone can embrace: God is love.

Humans are embedded in rhythms and frequencies that determine their lives: Day and night, waking and sleeping, the seasons, the breathing rhythm, the heartbeat frequency and hormonal rhythms that determine our biological clock. Nowadays, some of these rhythms have become confused, and the relationship between tension and relaxation is often no longer correct. Due to our modern world we often do not experience the seasons intensively enough, we often work against the inner bioryhthmic clock e.g. in shift work and have little time for harmonization and energy reflux.
