Running From Grace, Caught By Mercy

By John M. Benevides

No matter how far we run, we can't outrun the Gospel.

Trust me, I've tried. I spent over forty years wandering through the sinful wilderness, until I humbly accepted Jesus Christ as my personal Savior, my Redeemer, and my Friend.

This autobiography is brutally honest and, at times, transparent to a fault. My motivation for sharing my personal testimony is not to feed my flesh or to embarrass myself but to glorify God, His kingdom, and his never-ending acts of agape love.

It is my opinion that I was the worst type of addict because I was not homeless, a beggar, or what your mind's eye imagines. I was a father, a husband, and business owner and, quite possibly, the one sitting next to you at a restaurant/bar, a movie theater, or even church.

We need to appreciate that no matter what we have done or failed to do, we are never too far from God's outreach. I have felt the thickness and glory of God on more than one occasion and can testify that it is complete joy, and my tens of thousands of dollars on narcotics can't even compare.

Whether you are a nonbeliever, a new believer, or a seasoned Christian, I believe you will find this book useful during your spiritual walk. Through personal examples, it is my intention to show you how God uses people, places, and events to get His message across. I know this to be fact because He took a broken drug addict soul and transformed me into a child of the Most High God. I have included my email address on the cover so you can have author access to any comments or questions.
