Publisher's Synopsis
About the Book
Different, yes, in its approach to the real meaning of one's future. Fact or fable depends on your study of the word. Faith and belief will lead you first to Jesus Christ and then to The First Resurrection, in which the second has no hope. What is hope is answered in the The Resurrection of the Dead. As we are fastly approaching The End of Time, the writer exhorts and admonishes all, first to allow the Lord Jesus Christ to come into your life. Second, give it all to Jesus; He gave His all for you on Calvary's Cross. All for you and for the whole world.
About the Author
Known as RJ to his close friends, Elder Roland John Buras is from Venice, Louisiana, which is the farthest part of south Louisiana. Growing up in his little town of Venice, it was very comparable to a tropical island paradise. RJ enjoyed the hunting seasons of alligator, ducks, and the harvest season of the citrus produce. Through the years, the devastating hurricanes changed the scenery and landscape of his town.
RJ excelled in music and played in a band at fourteen. At 72, RJ still enjoys playing and teaching guitar, lead guitar, and steel guitar. His second favorite was baseball in which RJ was presented with sports medals by his school and sports director, Mr. Leroy Harvey. RJ is married to Charlotte Jean Carley Buras. RJ and Jean have been blessed with five children: John, Jason, Heather, Joby, and Sarah Buras. Their children live on the Gulf Coast near them. RJ taught all his children to play musical instruments skillfully. RJ's wife Jean plays guitar and is a songwriter. RJ and Jean have been married for 52 years.
RJ's adventures through life have led him from Buras High school to River Boat Captain, pushing barges up and down the Mississippi River, going east and west on the Intercoastal Canal from Port St. Joe, Florida to New Orleans, Louisiana and on to Houston, Corpus Christi, and Brownsville. Texas.
RJ really enjoyed the captain position on many vessels, including inshore, offshore, and on the Gulf of Mexico. By grace, RJ says he had the opportunity to become a Christian, then called to the Ministry. RJ spent many hours, days, and years studying the King James Version of the Bible and evangelizing throughout the United States. That is what enthused him to write this book.
