Looking For God in All the Wrong Places
By Marie D. Jones 

     Looking for God in All the Wrong Places is a non-denominational commentary about mankind's quest for a Higher Power.

     According to Reverend Marie Jones, we often equate people with the Supreme Being. We give doctors unquestioned authority over our health; put celebrities on a pedestal; and sometimes blindly follow the clergy.

     We believe some places are closer to God than others. We make pilgrimages to Mecca; seek healing at Lourdes, France; and swear our own church or temple is The Almighty's only home.

     For some folks, stuff holds the key to Heaven. We become addicted to drugs, alcohol, and adrenaline. Our survival hinges on technology and self-help gurus.

     After she clarifies where, who and what God is not, Reverend Jones offers guidance on where He is and how we can find Him. The simplicity of the answer may just surprise some readers.

     In the vein of great social commentators, Reverend Jones uses humor and wit to convey her heartfelt beliefs. Looking for God in All the Wrong Places is as interesting as it is informative. The entire book is exceptional, but Rev Marie earns extra kudos for the eleventh commandment!
