Rev Sidney R SmithIn 1978, Sidney Smith (now Reverend Sidney Smith) thought everything was going fine until his partner was brutally raped and murdered. Seeking meaning and finding nothing, he began a downward spiral. A combination of drugs and alcohol nearly ended hi life. There was no epiphany, but he knew he needed to live. Sidney Smith became an ordained minister and began his quest for the answers he couldn't find in the religions at hand. By accident, the teachings of the Message Bearers arrived in a dusty box of books donated to his organization. Still seeking better answers, Reverend Smith read the Messages and at first perceived them as fiction-they were unlike anything else he had ever studied. Upon rereading and reevaluating the Messages, he found the answers he sought. They became real and essential to him, thereby leading him on the quest to reveal these new religious revelations to humanity. For the next thirteen years, he studied the Messages revealed in Messages to Mankind from the Almighty and His Spirits. Later, he sought out Mr. Homics and learned that he passed in 1982. He eventually contacted Mr. Homics's daughter and was able to get a copy of Nick Mezins' book Revelations and the other edition of Mr. Homics's book. After studying all three books, he wrote a study of the teachings in the form of Search for the Promised Land. Later on, he wrote Supplementology: Combining Religion with Science, 2005, and now this edition The Almighty's Religion for the Universe. Read More Read Less
