Oh, Pastor John!
How did you get so much truth and gold into one book?
I am amazed. As we read through this I saw so many things that I experienced and because of those experiences, I know what you wrote in this book is true. Like I know my name, I know it is true.
It breaks my heart that I know this because I walked contrary to God. I know what wrong decisions and wrong choices lead to, AND I know what a loving, compassionate and merciful God we have, too. I am overwhelmed by the truth in this book.
How easy it is to ask Jesus to keep every young heart in that room from anything contrary to him and to etch this wisdom on all our hearts.
The truth in the last paragraph of page 78 took my breath. That is my testimony. That is what decades of sin led to. That is exactly where I was when in desperation, I asked Jesus to end my pain and get me out of this world. I used to lie in bed and cry because the sun would be coming up soon and I couldn’t face another day. Dawn was a dreaded event.
And God does heal the broken heart. That is my testimony. I am living proof He does.
I can’t say it enough, that I am overwhelmed by the truth in this book. Jesus wrote this book. Some things young hearts can’t take in, and I don’t want them to know or hear about that old dead girl, and yet, how can I not talk of the goodness and truth in this? I decided to take it out on you!
What wonderful instruction for every one of God’s children!
Beth D.
