Religious subjects depicted in art; Memoirs; Violence in society; Religious groups: social & cultural aspects; Coping with personal problems

This book takes you through the darkness of my earliest childhood into a brighter revelation of a mysterious, yet compassionate, spiritual being, which took me time to understand and receive. It describes how my personal experiences expressed a spiritual dichotomy as depicted in my painting ""2021 A.D."", which is the basis of this short story.

Have you ever had personal ""spiritual"" experiences that you couldn't really understand? Have you had ""spiritual"" experiences that only you could understand? How do family relationships tie into spirituality in our understanding of who God is? Have you ever wondered what the difference is between God, Christ, and religion? Are they the same or are they two separate entities? This book explores these questions from my own personal experiences from childhood to adulthood in a unique literary and visual form. It lets the reader discern whether it is real and relatable for them.

You can explore my paintings, books, and other thoughts by visiting my website ericmanning.info.

Eric Manning was born in Poughkeepsie, New York and lived in the Hudson Valley for twenty-three years. He moved to the Rocky Mountains in Colorado to pursue his interests in mountain sports and later to finish college; receiving a degree in Applied Human Science from Colorado State University.During his study, he began to appreciate the art he observed being created around him by his fellow students. This inspired him to sketch and paint the different concepts he learned in anatomy class and then in other classes. During this time, he noticed how profoundly he would remember and enjoy the material and ideas he was taught and this moved Eric to pursue his interests in applied psychology, art, and spirituality.Later, he landed in Kansas City and got a studio at the Arts Incubator (in the Crossroads Arts District), which, unfortunately, no longer exists. But he still expressed his concepts and experiences through oil painting. After creating a large body of work, he realized there were stories behind most of his pieces and so he started writing them.Finally, he published his first book, ""The Secret That Kills / Spirit That Saves,"" in February of 2023. A year later, he published a second book, ""2021 A.D,"" a short story based on a painting of the same name. Months later, he published a third book, ""Tales from the Crib,"" his first foray into poetic expression.
