In the well-known fairytale about the Emperors new clothes by H C Andersen the deception about the Emperor's new clothes is subscribed to by the entire adult world. But the children see through it. The emperor was naked and did not know it. The story pinpoints the massive vanity and self delusion that we as men are capable of. It is the front page news of every daily paper, every day. Since the dawn of time man has been hiding from God because he knows that he is naked. His attempts to hide that nakedness has created a thousand forms of "fig leaves", but there is always a glitch that shows his real and very guilty self. As ignored and downgraded as the Bible may be, it still tells the story of man's fall and his possible restoration. The imagery about that and templates for it are all in that library of God's interaction with man. That is what this book is about. Or if you like: "When everything else has gone wrong: read the instructions." Teddy Donobauer has studied men and male hood and the Bible for over fifty years. He knows himself and male frailty in depth. He speaks out of his own journey through life and hopes that his quest for reality would be useful to his "brothers in arms."

In Teddy Donobauer's first book, Adam, There is a Glitch in Your Fig Leaf , he discusses the "fig leaves" men try to hide behind. He shares how the success rate is unimpressive, for sooner or later, they are discovered. Some storm or another will rip away the disguise, and they will stand there naked. Contrary to the title, this sequel, Adam, Let Go of Your Fig Leaf, There is a Storm Brewing, presents a call to all men to do the opposite: let go of your fig leaves. But first, Donobauer explains, you need to see them as such and see what they stand for. Through personal testimony and Bible scripture, Donobauer delivers the message that unless you are saved by him, you will not be with him. When you know yourself as being saved, you will be where he is, in time and eternity. But the purpose for the offer of salvation is not to populate heaven with former sinners, but to populate earth with saints in the making.
