For centuries, the powerful have twisted faith into a weapon-turning sacred texts into political manifestos, pulpits into platforms for control, and the human longing for the divine into a profitable marketplace. Divine Manipulation: How the Powerful Twist Faith to Control the Masses pulls back the curtain on the greatest deception ever told: that salvation can be sold, and that freedom must be earned through obedience to the very systems designed to keep humanity in chains.From the rise of Christian nationalism to the global spread of prosperity gospel empires, from the erasure of the feminine divine to the commodification of Indigenous spirituality, this book exposes how kings, corporations, religious leaders, and politicians have colluded to monopolize the sacred.But this is not just a work of critique-it is a call to rebellion.Through historical analysis, piercing social commentary, and an unflinching manifesto for liberation, Chaddrick Thomas Sr. invites readers to dismantle the false kingdoms built in God's name and reclaim the sacred on their own terms.The final kingdom is not coming. It's already here-waiting to be claimed by those brave enough to break the last chains. Will you rise? Chaddrick L. Thomas, Sr. is a visionary storyteller whose raw, unapologetic narratives capture the unfiltered reality of street life, brotherhood, and the pursuit of redemption. Drawing from personal experience, he writes with a rare authenticity that transforms lived struggle into literary triumph.Having spent over two decades incarcerated, Chaddrick turned adversity into art, using the power of words to reclaim his narrative and inspire others to do the same. He is the CEO of the successful e-commerce brand Global Hair 4U and a passionate voice for criminal justice reform, using his platform to advocate for change and uplift those society too often forgets.With three grown children and a legacy built not on perfection but on perseverance, Chaddrick's work stands as a testament to resilience, growth, and the undeniable truth that even in the darkest places, stories of power and hope still rise.
