    About this ebook

    Oh how the “child within” loves to have his or her say in all matters pertaining to life. Because of its insistence on running the show, it can become a very serious obstruction to the purposed destiny of our journey with Jesus. God says : “Becoming more like Jesus is that purpose”, while our “child” says: “Not on my watch”. Trapped in the middle, we are the determining factor as to who wins!

    Bill Taylor

    I believe when it comes to the topic of "faith" it's important to know the heart of the writer you are reading. Hence, a little insight. If you've perused my writings I trust you have noticed that I'm an unapologetic non-conformist thus not religious per say. In fact, my greatest concern in life is to be summarily dismissed as a "religious person". My preference? A "real person" serving "a real God" who "really loves" THE WORLD. From day one of my sojourn with God it's always been a "real or nothing" mindset. I couldn't imagine any other way to approach the journey. Admittedly, never perfect and often awkward, but that has been and continues to be the narrow road I travel. At 27 years of age Jesus literally stole my heart. I did not join a "Club". I fell in love and entered the "Kingdom" of my Lover. To me, that was as glorious and serious as it gets! While my writings may not adhere to the status quo at times, I do hope at the very least they provide stimulation for serious contemplation. Blessings to all. Bill Taylor
