My Testomony

I got saved back in 2004 because of this little book called Power For Living. I saw this book advertised on T.V. and decided to order it. Being a divorced, single mom I suffered from a feeling of hopelessness and dispair even though I tried to hide it from others. Years earlier, while still married, I was diagnosed with what the Doctor's called 'chronic depression.' They told me I was incurable and would have to live with it for the rest of my life. It was so severe for a while that I could barely get out of bed and take care of myself or my family. I was sent to see a therapist which continued for 4 years. She was a feminist who eventually convinced me that if I got a divorce it would solve everything, since my unhappy marriage must have been to blame for my problams. So I took her advise, which I later would regret. What I discovered is that divorce caused a whole new set of problams like poverty, and trying to be a mom and a dad both at the same time. But mostly it had devestating affects on my children. The hurt and pain the divorce caused was more damage than I ever could have imagined. I felt like such a failure. I had trouble diciplining my kids. I was at work all the time and couldn't be home with them, they were failing in school and getting involved with the wrong kind of friends, even getting in trouble with the law. Then I lost my job and my apartment and had to put all my things in storage. I moved in with my boyfriend, which he only allowed because of my situation, but the whole time I was staying at his house it was obvious that he didn't really want us there, thus causing our relarionship to fall apart. One day I came to this realization that I was homesick and that I wanted more than anything to go home but I didn't know where home was. That's when God gave me this revelation that heaven was home. I started to weep, I thought God gave up on me, that He wouldn't want anything to do with me, but this experiance started to give me hope. I started listening to the christian radio programs. then one day I ran across that little blue book called 'Power For Living' in a box in my boyfriends garage. It's funny how that book was just laying in top of this box along with a bible I recieved from a friend years earlier. I had some cooking things in that box that I thought I might need at my boyfriends house but I didn't remember putting those books in there. I had ordered that book like a year earlier but never finished reading it. Now here it was. I read the book and said the prayer at the end of the book, asking God to forgive me of my sins and inviting Him to come into my heart and be my Savior. I remember a prayer in there that asked the Holy Spirit to give me understanding of Gods word as I read the bible. As soon as I started reading that bible the Lord filled me with His Spieit. I never felt such joy, such peace. That night as I lay in bed I actually heard the Lord speak to me and say "your name is written in the Lambs book of life"I

Finding Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior Gives Power for Living

Knowing Jesus Christ can be as simple as receiving Him personally as your Lord and Savior. Without Him there is no power for Living, not only the Christian life, but the overcoming life in a lost confused world of a fallen creation. This book explains simply the direction a person seeking the truth can follow. Along with this simple direction are examples of historical people who share their support for the power that will come when truly believing in Jesus Christ as the only path to an eternal life of value. A life with the Son of God. He said, "I go to prepare a place for you..." That you can be there with Jesus Christ makes this book a valued source to verify a testimony of evidence both Biblical and personal from historical witnesses and scriptural truths related in simple format for a new believer or seeker of truth.

Great book

This book is a fine incursion into one's belief systems, without the sophistication that too often deter from reading. Easy to read, and not too long either. Get it, it is well worth the price!
