New Christian Book Explores How Salvation Road Includes Buddhists, Jews, Muslims, Hot-Button Topics Like Homosexuality, Gambling, Alcohol, the ACLU and Evolution

CLEVELAND, Ohio, December 11, 2007 - Michael M. Murray's provocative new Christian book, "52 Paths to Heaven: Discover How Simple Joys and Tough Times Shape Your Journey" (published by AuthorHouse), shows how people discover Jesus through friendships, poems, churches and the Bible as well as crime, TV shows, terrorism and global spirituality.

"You could meet Jesus after hearing the Gospel or by praying," says Murray. "But just about any experience can help draw someone to Jesus. You need to sin before you know you're a sinner."

If God can speak through a donkey, a burning bush and dreams in the Bible, "he can be just as creative in other ways too," Murray says. Topics in 52 Paths to Heaven include:

- Alcohol
- Catholicism
- Euthanasia
- Marriage
- Movies
- Nature
- Racism
- Suicide
- Terrorism

"With nasty attitudes and endless arguments, some Christians give Christianity a bad name," Murray says. "However, it all comes down to this: Have you somehow encountered Jesus and owned up to your sins? Your circumstances may cover everything from pure delight to selfishness."

In addition to personal accounts, the book lists more than 200 resources and shows how:

• Sin-stained, hate-mongering pastors blow homosexuality out of proportion and why sensitivity should prevail
• Suicide demands mercy and doesn't disqualify Christians
• Calamities help us become dependent on the Lord
• Pornography ruins lives, but God has a rescue plan
• World religions other than Christianity fall short of God's demand for the perfect sin sacrifice.
