Writing under the name ITOTKO, which stands for In The Open, The Kingdom Opens, Con Trong Bui is not your typical Christian author. His mission isn’t to preach—it’s to provoke. Through his books, he challenges readers to think deeper, look closer, and question widely accepted interpretations of scripture that may have been passed down more through tradition than truth.
Raised in a world where religious narratives were often taken at face value, Con found himself asking questions others avoided: Are we reading the Bible the way it was meant to be read? What if much of it isn’t literal—but symbolic? And what if the truth about our spiritual selves, our purpose, and even our origin has been obscured by generations of misinterpretation?
With a background steeped in personal spiritual study and a drive to share what he’s uncovered, Con’s writing cuts through noise and doctrine to examine scripture with clarity, logic, and courage. He’s especially passionate about helping those unfamiliar with the Bible—or disillusioned by organized religion—get a clean, foundational view of what Christianity might truly be, according to the scriptures themselves.
His previous work, Esoteric Christianity Made Simple, received praise from Readers’ Favorite for making complex spiritual ideas accessible to a broader audience. Behind the Torn Veil takes that vision even further—digging into fundamental questions with boldness and intellectual honesty.
“If we read scripture literally, we may miss the truth completely. I write to help people see what’s really there—hidden in plain sight.”
