For some reason, probably Satan, I let it lay dormant for quite some time. When I did start writing again, I still wasn’t working on it very often.
A year ago, last January, I had a brief vision of Jesus (about three or four seconds). I kept this a secret for several months because I couldn’t believe this happened to me. I finally told a pastor, and he assured me I shouldn’t think it wasn’t Jesus. I then felt like I could tell people. I will not claim this inspired me to finish my book, but the following summer, I started working on it more diligently.
It’s been a long, slow process because I continued making changes and rewriting chapters. The information I put in this book came from references I listed, what I learned from sermons over the years, my own experiences, experiences of people I know, and of course, the Bible. I tried to listen to God for what he wanted me to share in my search for a new church for a Christ-centered life. I wanted to share my experience in selecting a Bible-teaching church and the keys to salvation.view less
