There are two parts to being a Christian. The first is that we are faithful, and the second is that we are commanded. Trust and obey, as the old hymn says. For there's no other way. And when we are faithful and commanded, we never know what God will do through us, but we do know that whatever He does will be an amazing victory! However, often times that victory also comes from a fiery trial. In this book, I write about what I believe it means to be faithful and commanded, and then I tell about several times which my faith and obedience to Christ brought about resounding victory. From being confronted by old friends about their disapproval of my Christianity, to starting a personal Evangelism ministry, to simply doing what I can to stand up for the truth, this book will inspire Christians and non-Christians alike. Coming from a life full of occult sorcery and drug addiction, it is with great joy that I greet every day knowing that I am washed clean of my sins by the blood of Christ and have eternal salvation in Him. Since I became a Christian, I have started a new life, and I am now able to focus on the history of my time as a follower of Christ. I enjoy seeking Him through my walks in the forest and also in my Evangelism in the local park. This book was inspired by my time as a Christian, and also many things that being a Christian has brought upon my heart.

The forces of light and darkness fought furiously upon the battlefield of my soul for four years, since I fell away from Christ at the age of sixteen. Because of my unrepentant heart, God allowed the darkness to drag me down into the midst of a deadly drug addiction and a dangerous way of life. Under the yoke of unspeakable evil, I venture forth with nothing but a frantic hope for sanity, sobriety and salvation. However, still blinded by my continued rebellion against God, stricken by my past mistakes, and driven ever onward into drug addiction, I become hopelessly foolish, and soon find myself in trouble with the law. In the midst of my strife, an unexpected proposal looms upon the horizon; a romantic endeavor. Torn by my drug addict lifestyle, my continually repeated incarceration, my desire to have love, and my hope to simply find freedom from the darkness, I become impossibly desperate. It was then that God opened a completely unexpected door for me. Without hesitation, I entered, and embarked upon an adventure that would change me forever. But even better, when it all ended, I was brought back to my home, my family and sobriety. And best of all, I was brought back to Jesus Christ, who was still calling me to save the world through Him. God had freed me from the darkness, and it was time to rise up once more and be the Christian I was always meant to be.

This gripping, true autobiography follows the spiritual life of a young boy devoted to Jesus Christ who is joined by a best friend, a companion with aspirations of a grand and valiant future. Together, they dream of embarking on a path of virtuous heroism which forges a deep and abiding friendship and sets the stage for what's to come.As the years pass, the boy begins to leave his faith and as a young man he meets another kindred spirit; a strange Jewish young man from the local Navajo reservation with a mysterious past. Together they set out into the world on an adventure brimming with thrilling escapades, heartfelt sentiment and profound sorrow until their adventurous spirit leads them astray when they chance upon a Ouija Board, a sinister artifact that becomes their undoing.As their curiosity in speaking with a malevolent demon from beyond this world persists for months, it begins to infect the young man's mind and soul with evil power, eventually driving him to become a meth addict. Alas, in a bizarre and harrowing spiritual experience unlike anything you've ever heard, the demon comes to him while asleep and opens a portal to Hell, transporting the young man into the depths of that infernal abyss. As he stands there, seeing it with his very own eyes, he knows that it is only his desperate cry to Jesus Christ that can save him. What follows is a powerful testament to faith, deliverance, and the truth of the Bible.
