From the Author
This is a true story of how Jesus Christ changed my life completely. As a young man I felt there was no need for God in my life. I was happy, I was married, I had three kids, and I was earning quite a lot of money a week self-employed. I just did not see any need to know God ... but all that changed!
Lin and Len Wills have shown me really positive things of how to walk with God, how to hear God and how to be close to Him in intimacy. I am so very grateful for their influence and love. They have walked with me for many years. Thank you.
