When Alfred Schwab was given the opportunity to meet a "contact"-an incorporeal entity who had been communicating with someone Alfred barely knew-he was skeptical, to say the least. But his curiosity and open mind encouraged him to at least explore the possibility.Orifi, a non-physical being with a special affection for humans, was willing and able to share his insights from beyond our understanding. Over the course of many years, he and Alfred shared countless conversations filled with humor and earthly give-and-take. Orifi shared generously about our reality, fate, free will, health, love, religion, and our physical world-past, present, and future. When Alfred was faced with unimaginable tragedy in the death of his child, he turned to Orifi for guidance and hope. And what Orifi shared allowed the grieving father to view his life experiences in a new and optimistic way. "You are never alone," Orifi promised his friend, and that sentiment rings through Alfred's story and words.

The author's very personal account of his own experiences may give others a point of reference in their own lives." -Lou Angora, Executive Producer, Morning Light Films

As I was going through a terrible trial in my life, I remembered something that my mom had said to me when I was a teenager. She said, "Read Matthew to live your life, read John to save your soul."

That turned out to be the best advice I ever got

I started talking to other people, sharing this with them, and I was amazed to find that so few knew what Jesus said. This led me to write this book to tell everyone what Christ said about how to live your life and how to save your soul. He gave us a "how to" guide. His message is clear and concise and doesn't need a lot of interpretation. He says what He means, and He means what He says. It is pure truth

Carolyn and her husband Herbert came from two different worlds. She from a small town in West Virginia, and he from a small village in East Prussia. They each experienced a different kind of life during World War II. Herbert escaped death by the Russians, and the only act of war Carolyn saw was selling war bonds and standing in line for nylons for her mother until the telegraph came. Carolyn's father was severely injured during a raid over Tokyo and would never be the same. Herbert's family did not know if his father was dead or alive for the three years they were in a refugee camp after fleeing from the Russians.

Have you ever heard of something that peaked your interest? That's how this book came about. Daniel 10:1. One word stood out for me and that was the word "but." I stopped reading the paragraphs and began to read the word. The Bible tells us to study to show thyself approved a workman that needeth not be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth, discerning God's will for your live. This on verse took me on a journey that enlightened me and empowered me. Take a walk through the pages. I promise you it will peak your interest.

In this fast-paced, pressure-packed, and turbulent world--where truth has become subjective, and living the Christian life with an uncompromising perspective has become a challenge for the child of God-nothing compares with sitting down with God through the pages of His word, and beholding Him through the eyes of the Spirit in a way that opens the Father's heart to you in a refreshing way.

This book does exactly that. It takes the reader, pulls you into compelling stories told with an African perspective, and brings you into the presence of the Most High; where you are left with no other option but to surrender to the majesty of Christ Jesus, our Savior and Lord, who is worthy of all our praise and worship for victorious living.

God has been revealing to me that writing is an effective way for me to share my heart with Him; I feel encouraged to use it as a way to share his love and my faith in him with you. I have spent the majority of my life searching desperately for the missing piece to complete my life puzzle. The discovery of my life has been made....Jesus. From the bottom of my heart to the top of the highest mountain, I would like to proclaim to everyone who is alive, ?God loves you God wants to be close to you You are created for HIM He his waiting with open arms and unending love for you God forgives you We can approach God with confidence in our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. The idea of this book grew from a seed planted in my heart on November 9, 2012. While reading II Kings, God revealed to me an important role in my Christian life. God tells of King Hezekiah, who was aware of God's presence in past events, had a personal relationship with God via a powerful prayer life, and trusted in God's help for current events in his life. One thing he lacked was his concern for future generations. God convicted my heart that I was lacking this as well. Not sure what to do, I prayed that God would show me. A book. Since I will not be around forever to share my faith with future generations, I can share my faith through a book. This is the first and possibly the only book I will write; I will leave that up to God. This is a collection of prayers and writings regarding some truths God has revealed to me. An invitation to you...to draw near, speak to God about what is on your heart, then be still, and know that He is God. This is the sacrifice God wants from us. He wants us to share our heart with him and trust him and his word to guide our lives. Talk to God about anything you would a family member, best friend, co-worker, etc. God wants us to come to Him first.
