Letters from The Elder to a World in Confusion: Understanding and Standing Firm in The Spiritual Warfare We Face Daily

Thank you for picking up my book, but you likely will not be happy with parts of it. It is a book that challenges all of us to reconsider many things we take for granted in daily life. I've written series of 19 letters on a number of subjects concerning God's original plan for his creation, and the confusion we've created in the world by ignoring that plan. Of course, we've been doing this for millennia, but it seems to all be coming to a head in our age of advanced technology that has given us a variety of new ways to defy our Lord's good will for his people. This has created a serious spiritual warfare. That warfare manifests itself in very real satanic forces that seek to destroy people's calling to a deep and beautiful fellowship with the Lord Jesus Christ. We find our best life in the two great commandments: to love our God with heart, soul, mind and strength, and our neighbor as ourselves. In the confusion of life's many voices we have been drawn away from that life into many false promises for something better. But there is always hope for a new life in God's Son, our Lord Jesus Christ. It is that life I want for you all. The path is not easy, but the reward is the very best. There is a strength with joy and peace beyond anything this present world and it's goodies can ever offer.

With God's blessings, The Elder
