Christianity, but it does require some thinking.

 
 YOU NEED 210 .mb FREE ON YOUR DRIVE
TO DOWNLOAD THIS ITEM

     By downloading this volume, you agree to  print out not more than one copy of this copyright volume; see the inside of the front cover for conditions governing distribution of individual chapters for discussion groups, etc.  

     I can send the necessary number of mb by email, but some cannot receive over 1 mb. 
For purchasers who cannot accept 210 mb., I can divide the document into three parts and email them. Alternatively, I could put it online at an agreed time for one hour with a URL known only to you and me.  The time would have to be arranged; Hawai'i time is five hours behind Eastern winter time. 
It would take about eight or ten minutes to download for those not on high-speed cable or the like.

 EACH CHAPTER IS SELF-CONTAINED AND CAN BE READ ON ITS OWN
