How Our Approach to Scripture Shapes – and Misshapes – Our Concept of God
Author · Minister · Publisher · Producer · Editor · Cinematographer
Challenging Religious Assumptions. Revealing Spiritual Truth.
Mike Williams invites readers and audiences to look beyond inherited traditions, reconsider familiar interpretations and pursue a deeper understanding of scripture, freedom and kingdom spirituality.
For decades, he has worked at the intersection of ministry, media and publishing — first as the Road Manager for Bishop Carlton Pearson, beginning in 1995, then the managing editor of Bishop Pearson's bi-monthly magazine, Dimensions Digest, his executive assistant, his television producer and media relations director. Mike is the founder of Aces High Studios, a film and television production company, for which Mike has produced and edited television programs for Bishop Carlton Pearson, Bishop T. D. Jakes, Bishop Noel Jones, Dr. Juanita Bynum, Bishop Paul S. Morton, Sr., Dr. Jamal Bryant and more. He is also the founder of Aces High Publishing. His books and teachings challenge people to examine what they believe, why they believe it and whether those beliefs reflect the liberating message of Christ.
His purpose isn't simply to question religious ideas — it's to help people replace fear, tradition and spiritual complacency with truth, freedom and a clearer understanding of who they are and why they are here.

Rescuing God from the Bible
Mike Williams's most personal and urgent work yet. Rescuing God from the Bible is a bold re-examination of how our approach to scripture shapes our concept of God — an invitation to separate the living truth of the divine from generations of religious distortion, and rediscover a faith built on freedom rather than fear.
Rescuing God from the Bible has been selected as part of the syllabus for two courses at Columbia Theological Seminary in Decatur, GA. The book is required reading for seminarians taking these courses.
Early Praise
“This is a brave, provocative and necessary book. . . . It may unsettle some of what you have believed, but it may also help you discover a God far greater than the one you inherited.”
Rev. Jon Henry Scott, author of Becoming the New Human
“Pastor Mike Williams does not tiptoe around the uncomfortable truth that many have used scripture not to reveal God, but to control people in God’s name.”
Bishop C. Montez Jones, Lead Pastor, Evolve City Collective, Atlanta, GA
“. . . he invites readers into a more faithful engagement with the text — one that questions, wrestles, revises and still remains spiritually rooted. This kind of work is not rebellion. It is reverence with its eyes open.”
Bishop D. E. Paulk, from the Foreword to Rescuing God from the Bible
“I found this book to be a breath of fresh air. Mike models the kind of intellectual honesty and spiritual courage that are desperately needed in our time.”
Will Horn, M.T.S., Founder & Lead Pastor, Cosmopolitan Congregation; host of the “Shake the Table” podcast, Dallas, TX
“In his quest for authentic truth, Mike is not afraid to expose error and call out religious cataracts that obscure the truth and send sincere followers down blind alleys and dead ends.”
Rev. Gary Hayes, Spirit & Truth Sanctuary Liverpool, Liverpool, UK
“Rescuing God From the Bible is an accessible text suited for personal and communal reflection in the church, academy, and among those at any stage of their deconstruction journey.”
Dr. Tony McNeill, Director, Worship & Music and Affiliate Faculty, Columbia Theological Seminary, Decatur, Georgia
