ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

It takes a large support system to make a small book a reality. On days when it seems like a futile undertaking, this support system is what one needs to get right back on track.

I thank God for the inspiration, strength and boldness to complete this book. This publication would have been something else if God’s tangible presence was not with me. I am also grateful for my spiritual fathers (Bishop Dag Heward-Mills and Bishop Arthur Brown) and pastors (Pastor Sylvia Edwards and Pastor Michael Asare) who have guided me throughout these years.

My sincerest gratitude to my editors Mrs. Isabella Blay and Mrs. Lurline Halliman and cover designer Kaylee Reynolds for your efficiency and expertise. Thank you Chisan Halliman-Thompson, Mona Halliman - Powell, Joshua Blay and Tatenda Mucheche for your suggestions, consultations and corrections. You have all been a blessing.

To my dearest mother Claudia Halliman, a world of thanks to you for listening to my father and agreeing to give up so much just so that I can be where I am today. Thank you for being a woman of faith and direction.

MESSAGE FROM THE AUTHOR

But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the SIMPLICITY THAT IS IN CHRIST.

2 Corinthians 11:3 KJV

The gospel of Jesus Christ is not complex. It is quite easy to understand, however, many people still do not know it. Hearing about Jesus is very different from your personal experience with Him. Do not be deceived. Many hear but still do not believe in Him. The surest testimony of Jesus is the Word of God. Jesus Christ encouraged us to search the scriptures to learn about Him.

SEARCH THE SCRIPTURES; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: AND THEY ARE THEY WHICH TESTIFY OF ME.

John 5:39 KJV

We are admonished to learn about Jesus from the Bible and appreciate and accept His utmost importance in our lives. I encourage you to read this book in one hand with your Bible in the other hand. I pray that as you read this book, you will experience sweet moments with Jesus.

Be blessed!

- Melissa A.L.R. Halliman
