Through the Eyes of a Child

A prevalent thought that is increasingly accepted is that we are living in the post-Christian era. It is certainly hard to dispute. We can see evidence in dwindling church attendance, less talk of God in political affairs, and the public square. Faith is being displaced by alternative views, such as secularism, nationalism, environmentalism, and organized atheism.

I just represent one small voice in the wilderness who believes this hypothesis is true, but want to challenge the paradigm change. I believe we are witnessing a shift we have seen throughout history. It is the battle between man’s ego and false sense of self-sufficiency, political systems seeking greater power over people, or merely the well-worn battle of the primacy of science over faith. But you can’t ban God. He is the Creator. You can no more avoid Him than the wind in your face. We do so at our own peril.

I believe that God exists and desires a relationship with us. For those who listen and pursue God, He communicates through the Holy Spirit, and offers a foretaste of heaven on earth.

One can experience God through scripture, worship services, prayer and contemplation, human relationships, and experientially. I found in my own life that the experiential component cemented my faith and the veracity of my belief system.

The first part of the book will highlight Jesus and key mystics that had powerful, experiential events. After conjecturing on the notion of a universal God, the second part of the book will cover my own mystical experiences.

Although the material of Through the Eyes of a Child is serious, it is told with a humble heart, honest explanations of what happened, as well as occasional humor.
