About the Book

“My dear children, I write this to you so that you will not sin. But if anybody does sin, we have one who speaks to the Father in our defense – Jesus Christ, the Righteous One. He is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not only for ours but also for the sins of the whole world. We know that we have come to know Him if we obey His commands. The man who says, ‘I know Him’, but does not do what He commands is a liar, and the truth is not in him. But if anyone obeys His Word, God’s love is truly made complete in him. This is how we know we are in Him: whoever claims to live in Him must walk as Jesus did.”

1 John 2:1-6

Dedication

In the same way, I dedicate this book to my children, to my family, and to my friends, in hope that God’s love and grace comes to each of you, and that we will spend eternity with one another in heaven.

About the Author

In 1996 I became a born again follower of Jesus Christ. In 1997 I went on my first 3 week mission trip, which led me to Libby, Montana to attend a missionary school known as International Messengers. Eighteen years later and I’m still in Libby! Though most of my ministries involve work outside the walls of our local church, I continue to minister to our youth, as well as sharing Christ weekly at the Lincoln County Jail. Though I enjoy the work the Lord has called me to, I’ve wanted for a long time to be able to spend time on a book that would take Scriptures and organize them in a way that the lost or deceived could come to an understanding of what God has done for all of us, and how it is God’s hope that all would be saved. Many people these days are too busy to read the Bible, and therefore never come to realize what God has planned for their lives! Now 65 and retired, I have the time to share with all who seek truth, and hopefully, many will come to know Jesus through His Word and the gifts shared in this book.

My wife, Bonnie and I are currently in the fundraising process for a mission trip to Antigua, Guatemala in February 2016. Our local fellowship, Faith Bible Church, has a team of 9 members joining with Three Crosses Church of Spokane, Washington, to bring and install water filters in local homes with dirty water. In addition, we will be bringing bi-lingual Bibles and Spanish children’s books to hand out at local schools and orphanages. Our hope is that the Lord will use us to draw many to Jesus during our time there, and that our lives will be changed as we minister to their needs. If you, the reader, is willing, pray for all of us; for health, unity and faithfulness to the One we serve.
