Strongs in the Lord

About the Book

Strongs in the Lord is the religious parody that has, too long, been missing from the literary scene. A powerful television evangelist and his television ministry, both ran by a scheming, cheating wife, enjoy untold wealth and power after the tragic events of 911. Using fear, guilt and shame, as every religion does, this family pulls in millions of dollars. Until one day, Reverend Harold Strong has doubts about himself and his ministry, while religious terrorists of both the Muslim and Baptist persuassion, join together to destroy the American democracy and recreate the world in their own image... "this is a story ripped from todays´ headlines" "...more controversial than current popular religious themed books, and more accurate..."

About the Author

Johnathan M. Carter is a poor man’s Erasmus, or, a white trash Voltaire, if you will. A trailer park renaissance man spanning the late twentieth and early twenty first centuries, Carter has published a true crime novel, a religious satire novel, photographed the hottest women of the adult entertainment industry, designed hot mix paving for state roads in both Delaware and Pennsylvania (as a certified member of NECEPT 2000 through 2004) and for over thirty years has studied the King James Bible, first as a die hard adherent to the inerrancy of the KJV, then as a amateur researcher, examining the Bible through the eyes of Isaac Asimov, in “Asimov’s Guide to the Bible,” (Avenel 1981, the two volumes in one edition) and many other tomes, referred to in the bibliography, through “Misquoting Jesus,” by Bart D. Ehrman (Harper San Francisco 2005). Carter remains in hiding, somewhere in the first state, following his controversial religious satire novel, “Strongs in the Lord,” where he continues to write and publish subversive literature.
