To Know and Be Known

Across the world there are people of various faith and belief systems. Many have put their thoughts on paper, and I decided to do the same. My journey actually started many years ago when I realized that I had been a church-goer, but I was not a true Christian. Then in 2002 I had my own "road to Damascus" experience that turned my world upside down, and that's when I started to study the Bible regularly. Now I can truthfully say I needed those unsettled times.

I'm not a formal biblical scholar, but the more I studied God's word, the more I realized what I was learning didn't match my own preconceived notion of its content or the world we live in. More importantly, I uncovered the essence of true love. In this book, there are a collection of 15 papers that I have written that build on one another. When I started to share my papers with others, I found it fascinating as the responses have varied dramatically. Some have become very defensive, yet others have found it interesting and offered supportive feedback. Christ himself said in Luke 12:51-53 that he would bring to vision even amongst the families. You may find this more of a workbook because it is technical in places, but I earnestly believe it will challenge your own preconceived notions! This may be a book you read one chapter a day, but it is something that you could ponder for a lifetime. My ultimate hope is that the "lessons" in these papers give you a new understanding that brings you closer to father God.
