About this title

About the Author

       Raised in a mixed religious household I soon became bored and disillusioned with religion and desired to be a successful person making lots of money, owning a big fancy home and a lot of impressive automobiles. After graduating from college, I married my high school sweetheart and set out to enjoy the benefits that the world had to offer. Financial stress, social pressures and the never-ending anxiety of life soon opened my eyes to search for a better way of life. 
       As I pursued fundamental Christianity accepting a Bible-based life, doctrinal purity and lifestyle reform it didn't take long to find out that religion wasn't enough. I became a powerless Christian with all the trappings of a form of godliness. 
       At age 32 I sold a thriving business, a big beautiful log home on 40 park like acres and all my bright shiny vehicles and set out for the wilderness of Montana next to Glacier National Park to determine whether Christianity was real or a fraud. Could it be lived out behind closed doors? It was there, without the aid of man's form of religion and all its trappings that I found a power outside of myself that enables me to walk with God on a daily basis, revitalize my marriage and connect my children to God and God alone.
       That power is the life of Christ in me. Authentic Christianity is available to every one of us, but it has to be pursued amidst all the layers of religiosity that tend to bring us short of the mark. We must rise above ordinary religion and nominal Christianity to find God!
