Publisher's Synopsis
As children, we searched for four-leaf clovers and carried a keychain with a rabbit's foot because we were told they were good luck. We were told not to cut the pole or step on a crack on the sidewalk. We put our teeth under our pillow so the Tooth Fairy would leave money. We collected Easter eggs from the Easter Bunny. We tried to stay awake in hopes of getting a glimpse of Santa Claus. We blew out candles and made a wish without questioning who we were making a wish to or who answers wishes. Instead of being told we were created in God's image, just below the angels and were given dominion over the earth, we were told after we die, we could be reincarnated and return as one of the very things we were given dominion over. These tales and exaggerations seem harmless because we mature and grow out of, but I want to address the deliberate and calculated lies and fallacies that are detrimental to our well-being and eternal soul. The pandemic is a word people are familiar with, but not its biblical synonym--pestilence. In addition, when God sends a famine, man will call it a food shortage, so you must learn to discern and observe with your insight and not your eyesight so you can walk by faith and not by sight. God sent plagues/pestilence for judgment, warning, and correction as a result of sin. In biblical days, the leader would hold a solemn assembly of fasting and praying, where they would repent and ask God for forgiveness. Many can't wait to get back to a "normal" that was spiritually abnormal to God. We live in a world where people are more interested in man's concepts than God's precepts, in predictions than prophecy, religion than a relationship, luck than blessings, staying a victim than becoming a victor, more concerned about the unvaccinated than the unsaved, religious tenets than God's commandments, in seminars than sermons, and rather warn us that Santa Claus is coming to town than Jesus is returning, talk about global warming than how cold we are to one another, and climate change than changing the climate of racial tension and discord. People think when we die, that's it. But there is what people call "Life after death," which I call "Life after flesh." Don't just plan for a future that's not promised, but for your eternity that is. Hopefully, my spiritual journey and insight covered in this book as well as my book, The Bible Will Be My Textbook, will help you discover the truth. Seek and you shall find and be set free. I hope in reading, you will experience a spiritual growth spurt as I have.
Poetically yours,
Raven M. Brown
