a FREE PREVIEW! I am not famous. I will never be rich. I will most likely only stand and speak after thousands of people. But I have a story to tell. This is an adventure. Once you begin reading this, you will see how God took an ordinary man from a little hollow in Johnson City, TN, through many different trials, ranging from thoughts of suicide, drinking, and going from one bad marriage to another. During all this, the Lord was directing me (most of the time without me realizing it). In doing so, He directed me to a small church where I began as an usher. He led me to a massive church in Richmond, Michigan, where I ended up in the middle of the original Mormon Church. You will see how the Lord began to reveal truths I could have never known on my own and how He used me as a vessel to open the eyes of those around me. I went from being called into meetings with church elders to having men and women of the church rise against me, demanding that I be silenced. One of my favorite quotes is, "Adversity introduces a man to himself." - Albert Einstein. Trust me, I believe it. I was ordained after only a year and began preaching in many Michigan churches. Along the way, I made many friends and enemies and encountered demon-possessed people, all the while preaching only the truth from the word of God. This book is ten years in the making. It is my life of heartaches and pain, love and joy. I wrote it not for money but to assure the reader that no matter what your walk of life is, God is still God and is not a respecter of persons. However, he has a perfect purpose and plan for your life. Take your eyes off your circumstances and look upon Jesus. I have had to remind myself of this many times. My life is now better than it has ever been. It is truly a life worth living.
