Student: “I just wanted to express my thanks for helping me to understand God and salvation with ‘clarity.’ Now that I comprehend the true meaning of grace it is as if the burden has been lifted from me. I have tried very hard to live my life for God. I used all the ‘components’ necessary for living a successful Christian life. When I sinned, it was as if I had ‘fallen’ — very hard, flat on my face. In my heart I would pick myself up and go ‘chasing after God,’ calling upon Him for forgiveness and hoping that He hadn’t forgotten about me or left me behind. Tonight, alone in my room — but not really alone, I sobbed. It was as if I had laid my head to rest in His lap. I realized that I was loved all along, regardless of what I did for or even against my God. In reality, His truth has set me ‘free.’ Thanks for sharing His Truth.”

Texas: “I had been chased by the devil for many years and he had convinced me I was going to die and go to hell. I decided to go see my grandmother and aunt before I died. I went to Maryland and even showed them the cemetery they should bury me in. I felt I was living the last few months I had. Every day was hard not knowing how I would die. Then one day I went into a second hand book store and found your book. The title got my attention: The Gift of God. I had to know what the ‘gift’ was and if perhaps it could possibly apply to me. Your book was my life raft back to a living God. I found out there was hope for my life after all. Thank you for writing your book and know it brought me back from the land of the living dead.”
