      INTRODUCTION

      I pray that your first reaction when you looked at the title of this book was not, ‘Oh, no, not another book on the Christian life!’ If that was your reaction, then please let me assure you that it will not likely be like any other Christian book you have ever read on the subject, for a number of reasons. The first is that I have been a Christian since January 14th, 1980, which is well over 36 years at the time of writing, and in that time I have accumulated about 4,000 books, with none of them covering the subject matter in the way that I will be covering it in this book. In fact, in all honesty I really wish that I would have had such a book in my hands 36 years ago!

      The second reason that this book will likely not be like any other book you may have read on the Christian life is that it is not based on theory, but on reality. What I mean by this is that the Christian life that I write about in this book is one that I have been living day in and day out for many years now. None of the material in this book, or in any of the other books written so far – and this book is number 27 – was taken from any other book or from any other person. In other words, all the material in this book is material that God taught me over the years through His Son by The Holy Spirit, and which has then been put into practice on a daily basis.

      I should mention that about half of the books in my library have been accumulated since on my field of service here since 1999. In early 2000, I discovered a second-hand Christian bookstore in the adjoining city to where I live. And twice a year, usually in the late spring and late fall, I would trek over and bring back a couple of boxes of Christian books to read, since at that time I was reading during mealtimes and also every evening that I had free. Part of the incentive for buying so many books at that store was the fact that they were cheap, with most of them running from fifty cents to two dollars each. And please understand here that I was spending a lot of time examining each book, by looking at the table of contents and reading parts of it, even before I placed it in my shopping cart. I certainly was not like a child let loose in a candy store, as I was showing some discernment!

      Now the reason for relating all this is that God was in the process of teaching me through the personal study of His word, for that is what I was doing during the course of each day, when I was not called upon to counsel someone or share the gospel in some way. What this meant as the months and years went by is that I was encountering more and more statements in the books that I was reading that were contrary to what God had already taught me in the personal studies He was leading me to do. That led to my spending almost as much time writing in the margins of the books that I was reading as I was spending in actual reading! The end result of this was that by the fall of 2007, God stopped me from going to the second hand Christian book store, for by then I had realized that many of these Christian books should never have been written in the first place. What I actually shared with a Christian friend around that time was that I believed that on the one hand most of these writers were simply not mature enough spiritually to write Christian books; and on the other hand this meant that they simply could not have been led of God to write these books, for they if they had, then I would not have had to spend so much time correcting things written, and even having to put many of them aside altogether!

      And this leads to the third reason why this book will likely not be like any other book you may have read on the Christian life, which is that the book would not have been written if God had not specifically led His servant to write the book. In other words, this book, as is the case with
