Features: This is a book written by a man filled with anger! It is a furious cry demanding "to set things right!" Look, in gymnasiums and lecture halls around the world, thousands of self-styled faith-healing masters are shamelessly deceiving people. They pretend to summon spirits to help them heal diseases, but in reality, they are crazily exploiting these patients, stealing their dignity, health, and money. When you read this, you may recall the Middle Ages, but the faith and behavior described here do indeed exist in the 20th century. Millions of civilized people believe in these things, even though their siblings have gone to the moon, swum underwater, and uncovered the mysteries of the universe. However, these believers are not interested in the world. They fear the world and lack confidence. They are moths fluttering toward flames, believing the world is a dangerous, dark forest.
