This webpage is presented to help visitors appreciate the three books written by this website’s author. This is to enable Christians to appreciate the trials and hardships I have experienced and what Jesus has shown me theologically.
Book #1: “God’s Great Plan for Mankind – REVEALED!”
My latest eBook is titled, “God’s Great Plan for Mankind – REVEALED!“. This book represents what the Lord has shown me about several of the “…mysteries” that lay hidden within the scriptures.
"He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you [i.e. My disciples throughout the ages - John 14:26-33] to KNOW THE MYSTERIES OF THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN, but to them [who are NOT Christ's disciples] it is not given." (Matthew 13:11)If you love studying King James scripture, you will love reading how this book brings scripture alive to reveal the process God is using to purify His saints in readiness for them to spend eternity with Him. The Bible says in 2 Peter 3:5 that Christians today will prefer to remain “…willingly ignorant” about what life was like on the Original Earth. However, this book reveals what God requires every Christian to know and understand about obtaining eternal life, which includes knowing about the Original Earth. This understanding about what God’s Great Plan for Mankind represents has remained hidden throughout the ages.
The overall aim of this book is to stimulate and expand the reader’s understanding of what the scriptures contain by “…comparing spiritual things with spiritual” (1 Corinthians 2:13).

Some extracts follow of what Jefto Pierre’s report had to say.
- God’s Great Plan for Mankind — Revealed! by Alan Manson is a Christian non-fiction book that looks at the Bible in a bold way.
- Alan Manson’s view of the Bible [is revealed] as a long, organized plan that unfolds over different ages of Earth and stages of humanity.
- He separates Lucifer’s flood from Noah’s flood and explains how each fits into God’s judgment and testing of obedience.
- Overall, this book invites readers to think carefully about how God’s plan unfolds across time.
- The writing is easy to follow and stays closely tied to scripture, which helps link individual verses to the larger message.
- Manson explains complex theories using charts, lists, and repeated references, which made the structure clearer for me.
- I didn’t agree with every point, but I liked how the information stayed consistent and focused on carefully explaining key ideas.
- In the end, I was glad the book encouraged me go back to familiar passages and really think about beliefs I assumed I already understood before reading it.
- If you enjoy alternative takes on biblical prophecy and thoughtful explorations of faith, this book is a great choice. It is not light reading, but it is deliberate and confident in its purpose.

eBook #2 – The Hitchhiker’s Guide Through the Churches
Some ten years after my first encounter with Jesus Christ (of experiencing being ‘born-again’), I wrote and published this eBook.
The book exposes the corruption I encountered in the many churches I attended. It reveals the double standards (i.e. hypocrisy) that many Christians exhibited towards me. However, this book is far from a misadventure. It demonstrates using scripture how Pharisee-ism is alive and well in today’s churches.
Details
This book is a true-life story of my ‘spiritual journey’ through 20 different churches in the following denominations:
- Anglican
- Apostolic-Nazarene
- Baptist
- Brethren
- Charismatic (AOG)
- Churches of Christ
- Methodist
- Pentecostal
- Presbyterian and
- Uniting Churches of Australia
My journey confirmed Acts 20:29-31, where the Apostle Paul warned his people that “…after his departing, grievous wolves would enter in among the churches and would not spare the flock from attack”.
Paul also warned that false Christians would arise, speaking perverse things that contradicted scripture (Acts 20:30). This type of behavior happens for the purpose of Satan’s people in the pulpits (2 Corinthians 11:13-15) drawing away disciples after themselves.
The Apostle Paul says that he “…ceased not to warn every one (night and day with tears) about the degrees of apostasy the churches would arrive at after his death (Acts 20:31).
My faith journey
In this first decade of my spiritual journey with Jesus, I proved the words of Paul to be entirely accurate. This book documents the many encounters I had with those who have fulfilled Paul’s words.
My initial desire in visiting different churches was to locate God’s people who were:
- the Salt of the Earth (Matthew 5:13)
- the Light of the World (Matthew 5:14)
- the Wheat (Matthew 3:12)
- the Sheep who hear Jesus’ voice (John 10:27)
- those who take up their cross that Christ has waiting for them (Matthew 16:24)
- those who follow Christ (Matthew 10:38)
My aim was to join with them in the spreading of the Gospel. To achieve this desire, I first needed to locate God’s “sons and daughters” (2 Corinthians 6:18) within the churches. However, my search uncovered many Tares (or ‘weeds’ – Matthew 13:30, 38-40) within most churches that I visited. Several Grievous Wolves (Acts 20:29) also emerged, with a few beautiful exceptions.
I determined at the end of my search that the Devil’s people had taken over most (if not all) of the churches I visited. This claim was derived from the many heresies that I encountered (1 Corinthians 11:19).
One false belief commonly encountered is the ‘Once Saved, Always Saved’ doctrine, that accompanied the rejection and persecution I suffered from those in leadership and from others who rejected the scripture verses I quoted.
My search also uncovered Biblically-banned practices in some churches. These were Necromancy (communication with the dead -Deuteronomy 18:10-12 ) and the Pro-abortion agenda (Exodus 20:13). Both of these topics demonstrate the deep level of apostasy that exists in today’s ‘End-time Church’ (1 Timothy 4:1-3).
To become aware of these practices, I used the King James Bible as my ‘spiritual map’. My ‘personal guide’ became the Holy Spirit, who helped me to ‘navigate’ my way through the churches to where I am today.
Book and eBook #3 – The Christian’s Practical Guide to Walking in the Spirit
This book and eBook were created to help Christians appreciate that simply attending church or embracing a set of religious beliefs was insufficient to gain eternal life.
God says in the Bible that if Christians are not “walking in the Spirit”, they are “walking in the flesh” (Romans 8:1 – KJV). This means they have accepted a form of ‘religion’ rather than reading, believing and obeying what God’s words tell them IN FAITH!
God also says that Christians who are “walking in the flesh” are considered to be an enemy of His (Romans 8:5-8 – KJV).
This eBook describes how the spirit world around us functions and how the spiritual “organs” we each possess interact together. It is from this knowledge we understand how our body functions in both the physical and in the spiritual realms.
Once this knowledge is gained, Christians should then be able to “walk in the spirit” so as to please God and NOT ‘man’ (Galatians 1:10).
Throughout the book, scripture verses are regularly quoted to support the claims being made. This is so a Bible scholar as well as a novice can truly grasp the practical meaning of Christian spirituality.
Walking in the Spirit is essential reading for any Christian seeking to better understand the Bible; their own spirituality, and from that point onwards – to develop a closer relationship with God.
To emphasize this point, Jesus said: “It is THE SPIRIT that quickeneth [or gives ‘life’]; THE FLESH [meaning ‘religion’] profiteth nothing: THE WORDS that I [Jesus] speak unto you, THEY ARE SPIRIT, And THEY ARE [eternal] LIFE.” (John 6:63 – KJV)
