Book Cover & Preview Text
What is the "original intent" of Almighty God's heart? Wouldn't He desire for the beings that are made in His image and likeness to function accordingly? We were created to abide in a harmonious relationship with Him. How could our Omnipotent, Omnipresent, Omniscient, All-Wise Creator require anything of His creation while keeping us in the dark? The first act of His Sovereignty we have privy to is of Him rebuking darkness. This helps us to understand that His desire is to reveal Himself and enlighten us to His ways. Can a true fellowship be established and respected if those involved are not open and honest? That being stated, it is my earest desire that the reader would find probable cause to reexamine that facts that are currently held as "foundational truth," and see if they align themsevles with what you will be challenged to undertand. It is God's desire for His children to get off the emotional rollercoaster and onto the path of faith that we've been prescibed to walk. Even as the journey is as important as the destination, the direction of the journey determines the destination.
