This book was inspired by true events.
Confirming the word of God in the King James Bible stating, "For nothing is hidden that will not be made manifested nor is anything secret that will not be known and come to light" (Luke 8:17), secrets are similar to a cow in the pasture that thinks he's free. God knows the secrets of the heart. Having an honest conversation with God can change anyone's life.
Proverbs 28:13 tells us, "Whoever conceals his...

Does having faith mean abandoning reason? It's easy to get that impression. Still, it seems reasonable that a supremely intelligent God would want you to use your God-given intellect on your spiritual journey as much as in any other aspect of your life. Faith may not stand on rational thinking alone, but a solid faith should walk hand in hand with intellectual integrity. Does it really matter what I believe? What is the relationship between faith...

The world today groans under the weight of many crushing problems, but it's not intellectuals, presidents, or political parties who have the solutions. The rescue agents are born-again believers who fall under the "great commission," and that's you. This command for you to go into the whole world is not given by One who would leave you an orphan. God will equip you, but you must do it His way.

Coming from atheism to Jesus caused such a profound change in me it is often difficult to express. The desires of my heart were not the same. I wanted to live differently. I wanted to live for Jesus and the gospel message. At the same time, I began to notice that a vast number of my fellow believers lived the way I used to live when I was an atheist. I also knew that needed to change.
We have been incorrectly taught that we will always sin because...

Before I came into ministry, I was a practicing lawyer, and I will never forget this experience my colleague and I had. One fine day we were at work when a strange woman walked in seeking legal assistance. I call her strange because she was unlike any client we had ever attended to. She was barefooted, wrapped in white calico cloth as pertains to a fetish priestess, with matching white beads on her ankles and the typical...
