I wrote this book also for a number of reasons. There are people and organizations that want to take our faith and beliefs away from us. In many ways, we have already lost a lot of ground and some of our ways of practicing our faith. Our forefathers came to this country for freedom of faith. They were tired of being told how they had to worship God or that they couldn't do this or that. Our country was founded on the idea of freedom of religion. We have the right to worship where and when we feel like worshiping God.
By doing this, I am not telling anyone else what they can do or how to worship. I am just practicing my faith. Others are free to not worship and stay home on Sundays and do nothing if this is what makes them happy. But they don't need to tell me where I can hang a picture of Jesus, put up a cross or sign, or where I can pray to my savior.
I have showed in this book where we have lost some of our freedom because we did nothing. Those with money have won out in many ways. We may not be rich in money, but we all have a voice and legs to stand on. We can't convince anyone that we are right by saying, "Okay, we won't defend what we believe." This we have done too often.
The prophets were perhaps the first to give witness to us and then Jesus and then the apostles and the church after that. All of creation, if we look at what God has created and is still creating, should all be witnesses. The big bang theory just doesn't work. Everything had to begin with something. Where did this something come from if not from an all-knowing supreme being. This I all tried to bring out in my book, as well as the time when God spoke for himself when the sky opened and a voice from the clouds said, "This is my beloved Son. Listen to him."
In this book, I have witnessed again and also some of my friends have given their witness in hope of convincing others how important our faith is and how we all need to respond to attacks on our faith. If you want to share your faith in Jesus and how you have seen God work in your life, I would like to tell you to maybe write your own book. If you say that it isn't possible for you to write, I would like you to send me the story of God's work in your life. When I get enough, I may have another book to write. If God wants you to write, he will help you. He helped me. A few years ago, a friend read my first book and shared her story with me. I told her that she should write her own book, and she did; in fact, she has written several. Her name is Vicki Leigh. I shared a part of her story in this book. Will you stand up or speak for your faith?
