HuntsvilleForester.com - Book delivers important message

The world would be a much better place if people would realize they are all of the same creation.

That is the message conveyed in the new book titled The False Prophets, written by local author B.J. Boltauzer. Called a thriller with a message, the entertaining book sends out an important message to its readers.

It was during the early morning hours of Boxing Day in 2004 when Boltauzer sat down in his Huntsville home and began writing his first book.

“I wrote for a whole year,” he said. “I did quite a lot of research for it. It wasn’t a challenge and I didn’t find it difficult to write because I had written lengthy papers before.”

Although a work of fiction, The False Prophets is loosely based on some of Boltauzer’s personal beliefs. As a freemason, a royal arch companion and a member of a Masonic Rosicrucian college, Boltauzer has a love for Christian mystics, Cabala and Sufi philosophy.

The book has been described as having esoteric, religious, spiritual and political connotations. The story focuses on a worldwide conspiracy by a sinister white supremacist society to usurp the predicted spiritual rebirth of the world in 2012. Opposed by a small group of mystics of different faiths, including a Jesuit priest, a Sufi Shaykh, a Masonic Rosicrucian, a Hindu yogi, a cabalistic rabbi, a Tibetan Buddhist master and a Wicca priestess, united as one, their goal is to bring understanding, tolerance, harmony and love to humanity. They also seek to persuade the world to see the truth, or suffer the consequences.

Hiding behind an international oil and mining company, the neo-Nazi Thule Society is prepared to unleash one of three large-scale disasters to assist in the establishment of a new world order under a white-supremacist dictatorship.

“The main message (of the book) is that people need to realize that we are one,” said Boltauzer. “There is a great lack of spirituality in the world today. There’s so much focus on religion and not enough understanding about different faiths, which unfortunately leads to intolerance and blind hatred. Bigotry is one of the worst elements that rides on fundamental religions.”

Boltauzer says that his goal behind writing the book, aside from wanting to convey a positive message of human unity, is to raise awareness on religious wars that still occur to this day.

“There are people around the world who read dry theory and lecturing,” explained Boltauzer. “But sometimes it doesn’t go down good with every reader. The book is not a lecture, but there are passages of lecturing. People tend to mix up being religious and being spiritual. This book encompasses various faiths and would be a great read for people who would like to be enlightened, whether you believe in God or not.”

For his first book, Boltauzer tried hybrid publishing, which is a mix between conventional and self-publishing. He had to hire his own editor and pay a small fee to a company who then published his book.

The False Prophets is available at ChristmasTyme on Main Street and onine at barnesandnobel.com and amazon.com. It can also be ordered at Coles.

Boltauzer and his family emigrated to Canada from the United Kingdom in 1996 and have lived in Huntsville for the past 12 years. While writing is simply a hobby of his, he works as a sales representative for Century 21 Country Realty Inc.

Thanks Brother Boltauzer

As a Freemason, I have heard many calls for a book that tells a conspiracy story with Freemasons as heroes. Well, here is it. I have not read it yet; nor have I found any other review. I’m going to go out and try to find it today, along with Ishmael's Wrath, another novel by a Mosonic author. They both have to be better and more entertaining than that Book of Faith I made myself read last summer. The Book of Faith seemed to throw in Masonic themes as a marketing ploy, trying to cash in on Dan Brown's success. Thanks Brother Boltauzer. I hope is sells well. I will help spread the word.
