For Immediate Release
San Antonio, Texas – After living in a house for nineteen years, most people have amassed a huge array of memories, emotions and love for the place they call home. For Rev. Robert W. Douglas, CPA, his nineteenth year was marked by an even more profound event – having his home ripped away, without a formal court hearing and failing to provide a jury trial.
It was a life-changing kick in the teeth for a man who had not only spent his professional years helping others stay honest to the IRS as a CPA, but spent his later life as a passionate servant of God. This experience resulted in the author’s figurative death.
In ‘Resurrection: Death and Taxes Certain or Uncertain’, Rev. Douglas shares his entire, uninhibited story. It’s a stark warning of the U.S. Government’s willingness to abuse its power and destroy the lives of others, offering no recourse for their plight.
Synopsis:
This is a true story about Robert W. Douglas, taxes and death. The polity of both taxes and death tend to consume thoughts driven by certain seasons and events, such as April 15th and Resurrection Day (Easter). To think about taxes and death is one thing, but to experience death and the unbridled authority of the Internal Revenue Service officials is death in another form. To rise from the ashes and the results of unconstitutional tax enforcement, however is a portrayal of the Son of God. My life’s journey over the years allowed me to acquire two professional licenses: one as a certified public accountant and the other as an ordained minister. Over the years there have been a substantial number of interactions with the Internal Revenue Service on a personal as well as professional level. I have represented people with satisfactory results and it seems there was always a measure of success in my relationship with the IRS. After college, I began seeking opportunities to enter the tax preparation and bookkeeping business. Once there for years I successfully managed RWD, CPA. Upon Ordination I sold my practice to devote full attention to ministry. It was during those years that I began to question the authority of IRS, that is not to say that similar questions were not present in the past. I pursued some of the evidence which led to court battles, judgements and the loss of my home. It also led to Resurrection and forgiveness, and words of encouragement for the perpetrators.
“The IRS not only violated the Constitution, but violated God’s law,” explains the author. “This resulted in my death, resurrection and eventual forgiveness. I want others to be aware of people and organizations who will willingly abuse their power and mask it up as “following the law”.”
Continuing, “I’m an extremely well-trained and experienced accountant and religious professional; so I’m not the typical candidate for the IRS to walk all over. Still, “it” happened to me and my home of nineteen years was ripped away, backing me into a corner where I was totally powerless and without any kind of recourse. The public needs to know what happened, because they could easily be next.”
With the volume’s demand expected to increase, interested readers are urged to secure their copies without delay.
