Possibly there is nothing more conducive to thoughts of the Eternal, than having one's face slammed into red, wet muck, with explosions so close your body arcs and bounces off the ground, hot shards burn in your flesh, and concussions are bright flashes of dirty fire beating a tattoo on the light receptors in the backs of your eyes. Your head aches; throbbing from visual shock waves. Time has come to an end; there is no right, no wrong, only whatever follows a life that is now over. The dark reaper is here. What's it going to be like on the other side? Is there an "other side"? The old timers use the maxim, "There are no atheists in a fox-hole." Possibly so; I can only give my own experience, and I never had the opportunity to be in one. Combat aviators crash and sometimes burn instead. But close calls almost always give rise to interminable questions; especially when the survived experience is seared into the human psyche. For some, satisfactory answers never seem to come. For myself,
may I pro-offer both scorching experience, and incredible
life-lessons learned? Then, should you ever fall into similar
adventure; you man go into it better prepared than I was.

Life is a constant battle between good and evil. Unfortunately, many are ignorant of how to fight the battles of life. Human beings operate on two levels: the spiritual world and the physical world. Unknown to many, "the spiritual controls the physical." In life, many of the problems that a man encounters are already introduced in the spiritual realm, yet he continues to look for physical solutions to spiritual problems. God has made available to every child of God the weapons to fight spiritual battles. These include the blood of Jesus, fire of the Holy Spirit etc. However, one of the most powerful weapons available to man is the weapon of praise and worship. This book examines the reason why we fight spiritual battles and how to win spiritual wars. It also examines the life of King Jehoshaphat and the children of Israel and how they used the weapons of praise and worship to defeat their enemies.
There are times and places where heaven and earth collide, where the line between eternity and time grows dim, and the reality of God becomes real. There are experiences and circumstances that force our beliefs to cross over from a mundane theory and into a living reality. This is my story. It is our story. It is His story. It is not perfect, but it is real. It is a story of my experiences with God, calling to ministry, journey of planting a church, and surviving disaster and devastation. This book is for anyone who ever desperately wondered if God exists or if He cares. It is for honest people who have questioned Christians, been disappointed with church as usual, or simply wondered if there was more. I hope my story will inspire and challenge you to discover the wonderful treasure of authentic faith or galvanize the faith you already have.

Like so many bright and beautiful baby boys, Tom Anderson was a child of great promise. Being sexually violated at a young age by an older man who presented himself as a father figure, Tom's life was dramatically changed. With divine grace, God reached into Tom's drugged and lonely life during his late teen years, and led him down a path that touched thousands of lives with the compassion and humility of Jesus Christ. As an outstanding medical doctor, Tom ministered to the sick, the elderly, and the mentally ill. In spite of his successful practice, he was haunted every day of his life by the physical, emotional, and psychological damage perpetrated against him as a child. Yet, it is not for these struggles that we remember him; but, for "His love for his family, his humble service and hospitality to his fellow man, and his commitment to God." In the end, Jesus won.

I started writing years ago just writing notes and my feelings on a diary but the Lord told me to write my testimony because no test no testimony. That was my first book When God says move, move. Now I'm writing my second book which the Lord God instructed me to do as well, it is about some of the thinks God and I have gone thru together and some things He wants me to reveal to other believers. I would appreciate if you would take the time to read what He has to say to the church.
