The Heaven Ethos Liberation Manual: Rescuing the Captivity of Conscience from the Power Ethos
By Adonéy Kroni
In a world where domination is mistaken for virtue, where cruelty hides beneath the banners of faith and patriotism, and where fear is marketed as moral clarity, The Heaven Ethos Liberation Manual offers a revolutionary reawakening of conscience.
This bold and unflinching guide confronts the growing moral dissonance in modern life-especially within Christian communities-by exposing the toxic influence of what the author calls the "Power Ethos": a system of thought that prizes strength, station, and wealth above truth, mercy, and love. Drawing from years of personal experience navigating both progressive and deeply conservative spaces, Adonéy Kroni delivers a searing analysis of how religious institutions have been co-opted by political power, and how genuine spiritual values have been replaced by hollow rituals and tribal loyalty.
At the heart of this work is a clarion call to rediscover the "Heaven Ethos": a timeless, transcendent moral framework rooted in compassion, humility, truth, and justice. Whether through the teachings of Christ, the prophetic voices of other religious traditions, or the echoes of conscience found in secular humanism, Kroni maps a way back to integrity-and forward to moral courage.
Inside this manual, readers will discover:
- A clear historical narrative tracing the collision between the Heaven Ethos and the Power Ethos, from the Roman Empire to the present day.
- A breakdown of the psychological and social mechanisms used to manipulate conscience, including fearmongering, tribal loyalty, and economic gaslighting.
- A spotlight on the alliance between religious nationalism and political opportunism-particularly the MAGA movement's distortion of Christian identity.
- The "Champion Framework" for liberation, which identifies the roles of Prophets and Disciples in resisting moral decay.
- Practical strategies for reclaiming personal moral agency, reviving critical thinking, restoring empathy, and building authentic communities of conscience.
Unapologetically bold yet rooted in compassion, this manual is not just for the disillusioned Christian-it is for anyone who believes that love should not be conditional, truth should not be partisan, and dignity should not be transactional. It challenges readers to examine not only the systems that govern society, but also the stories we tell ourselves to justify silence or complicity.
Whether you are a faith leader, community builder, political activist, or simply someone struggling to reconcile your values with the world around you, The Heaven Ethos Liberation Manual offers not comfort, but clarity-and the courage to choose a higher path.
