Message From the Author
If you could have a private conversation with Jesus Christ and ask him anything you wanted, what would ask him?
What am I doing here? What does God want from me?
We stumble along, fumbling for answers to some of the most difficult questions in this ambiguity of the human condition that we refer to as life, and fail to realize that everything happens for a reason. God has a plan for you; he has a plan me. There’s a plan for all of us.
I am a radical follower of Christ, with whom I have a deep and intimate connection. In him I will store all of my faith for the remainder of my days.
