Gene Van Shaar dedicated decades to researching, teaching, and writing about religion, history, literature, politics, and science. During that time, he observed that many were being influenced by ruinous ideas that increased susceptibility to personal and political predators.
Hoping to inoculate, and even reclaim, some of those infected with destructive ideas, he focused on themes related to freedom, fulfillment, captivity, and misery. More than a hundred books and articles later most of his writings have proven to be accurate and helpful.
The depth and breadth of insights in his tomes will help the rising generation—and every generation—have more joy and less misery in the host of exciting and dangerous adventures life is sure to bring.
