In spite of Michael's resisting God's love and grace with his rebellion and seeking meaning and purpose in life through all the ways the world offers our Heavenly Father reached down and marvelously saved Michael. This book will capture your heart as you see the steadfast love of our Lord Jesus overcoming all of Michael's resistance and claiming Michael for His own. In this book we see the beauty of the heart of Jesus as His love and grace are greater than all our sin-no matter the depths of sin to which we have descended. Michael's book will encourage anyone who is seeking real meaning & purpose in life to turn to Jesus and find what matters most in life-life eternal. I highly recommend this book for those who already know Jesus & those seeking Him.</span></p><p><span style=color: rgba(0 0 0 1)>%</span><strong style=color: rgba(0 0 0 1)>James Stewart</strong><span style=color: rgba(0 0 0 1)> South Region Coordinator for Evangelism Explosion International</span></p><p class=ql-align-justify><span style=color: rgba(0 0 0 1)> </span></p><p class=ql-align-center></p><p class=ql-align-justify><span style=color: rgba(0 0 0 1)>This book is vulnerable extensive articulate and engaging through invigorating and adventurous personal experiences that help the reader to see the redemptive power of the living God.
