    About this ebook

    THERE JUST HAS TO BE MORE TO LIFE THAN THIS! YOU VERY WELL MAY HAVE THOUGHT THIS OR EVEN SPOKEN IT ALOUD

    If you are searching for academic theology, this is not the place! If instead you are looking for permanent, fulfilling, even life altering relationships, feel free to explore. If you intensely detest the thought of yet another night of tossing and turning driven by the memory of disappointments delivered daily by a forgettable, phony, and unrewarding lifestyle, this could become your jumpstart to newness. Inside you can discover:

    * How to look for love in all the right places
    * When to select a different exit than one first considered
    * Where to locate the greatest tat (tattoo) of all time
    * Why what youve always done often isnt the best decision
    * That you have the right to choose what you want to believe
    * That God does not love anyone more than He loves you
    * The source for seemingly insoluble dilemma

    You may recall that insanity has been defined as doing what you have always done and expecting a different result. Do you see a necessary change on your horizon?

    Author

    Stafford Michael Rogers

    The author is fully enamored with the lifestyle, compassion, and teaching of the master teacher of all time, has immersed himself in all 66 books of the Great King 28 times, determined to be a disciple of and friend to, Jesus of Nazareth. While he has not attended “preacher’s school”, his great joy would be to deserve similar recognition accorded to Peter and John in Acts 4:13b, ”they took knowledge of them, that they had been with Jesus”. Mike is a recipient of the Global University Teaching Certificate for the Christian Service Curriculum, has been a male guide in the pro-life activities of the South Texas Pregnancy Care Center, serves in the local food pantry, led a small group for 7+ years, a part of youth ministry since 1998, consistently taught the word since 2000, and continuously involved in children’s ministry since 2002. Missionary trips to Jamaica, Kenya and Mexico hyper-intensified his compassion. He and his wife Cindy are gifted with four delightful daughters, Denise, Diana, Crystal, and Brooke, 6 grandchildren, and 1 great-grandchild. Mike and Cindy currently live in Seguin, Texas, but eagerly anticipate the construction of a Spirit-directed “Oasis” in Sutherland Springs, Texas with their 1 dog & 1 cat.
