This book was born from my burden (1) that people who call themselves Christian might desire to read and study the scriptures themselves (John 5:39); because of (2) the great fear I have that many who think they are Christian have been misled and do not know the truth (Ephesians 5:6).

I never understood just how important a human soul could be to God. The soul is the only thing we actually own and the only place I belonged. I was raised by a single mother, and she loved God with all her heart. So many times, we would fall asleep to the sound of gunfire. Out of this chaos, God chose me. I fought against Him and His will for so long. Every time I knocked down by life and Satan, God and all His love would stand me up again, stronger than before.
