Publisher's Description

By the grace of God, every human being, at the proper time--that is, "in God's timing"--can become a Christian, irrespective of ethnicity, race, or gender (male or female). "Becoming a Christian" means "a spiritual transformation" from within our inner-being, as we are "born anew" in the spirit when we accept the loving sacrifice of Christ as atonement for our sins and believe in his resurrection from the dead as the empowering act of love that guides our present lives, as well as our lives in the world to come. Christianity is the only religion that imparts a spiritual rebirth or transformation to the human being without regard to ethnicity, race, or gender. We are all equal from the womb to the tomb; but we are not apes in the jungle! We are "spirit-beings" temporarily indwelling a mortal bodily vessel, until the time when we return to the very living original Source from whence we came: our heavenly inheritance, as prophesied, promised, and fulfilled in Christ Jesus by God our loving Creator and heavenly Father! God's living word of truth, life, peace, justice, love, and liberty came down to us from people, human beings like us, who wrote it as "moved" and "inspired" by God's Holy Spirit, through our only Savior, God, King of kings and Lord of lords, the living "Word of God made flesh" for humanity whose name is Jesus Christ (Acts 4:12).
