My Themes & Issues
Does God Exist?
Answering
The Ultimate Question
My memoir ultimately deals with why you should believe in God. Not because of a creation/evolution argument or an absolute morality argument; eg Sin/Murder/Right/Wrong.
But an experiential argument: from my experience. I know God is real because he has miraculously intervened in my life. Therefore, like the Apostle Paul who had a miraculous experience with Jesus on the road to Damascus detailed in the biblical book of Acts; I cannot live my life any other way and I feel a total sense of responsibility to share all the amazing details about my miracle and the amazing things that God has done for me. Every chance I get.
For much of the previous 30 years, I’ve been writing and in a sense saying to God… Please bless my work as it is what I can do for you… But God hasn’t blessed those various products (some of which have received small blessings of course). What he has greatly blessed is this memoir; which is essentially telling you the reader simply what God has done for me. As well as give my humble opinion on how he can do the same for you. A testimonial in a sense.
If I had’ve known 15 years ago when all this started that all I had to do was stop trying so hard to show God I had worth and could do amazing things for him and instead simply tell people the amazing things God has done for me was what truly works… I would’ve saved myself many of the dark valleys that followed in some of the events portrayed in this testimonial apologetic memoir. Still better late to the party than never!
Special Issues
Confront and Challenge
In my memoir I deal both openly and by connotation with a number of philosophical/mental health issues as I explore my reactions, fragile attitudes and occasional sinful, risky, foolish dangerous behavior and motivations.
Which I can of course thank God even more for his grace in bringing me through my poor choices at times and keeping me alive today to tell this thrilling tale. Though I give advice on how I trust the Holy Spirit and what may work for you; I am not encouraging foolishly dangerous or sinful behavior for you. That is not my intention at all.
My intention is to write a confronting book to challenge the establishment and the reader where I feel they need to be challenged.
Firstly to prove beyond doubt God's very existence.
Secondly; by direct connotation to prove the fact that he sees me and by extension you; with all the resulting responsibilities that realization implies.
And thirdly; that the established methodologies of secular philosophy/psychiatry/psychology and even some christian counseling practices need to better take these facts into consideration when making diagnoses and offering treatment options.
