Author Finds Faith, Redemption, and Purpose at the
End of
Would-Be Suicide Rope
To help others avoid the painful road he has traveled,
Shawn Smith shares in this book the lessons he learned during his 36-year search for inner
peace and fulfillment
. . . how he knelt and put his old detrimental habits
to death, arose with a knightly dedication to virtue, and put that elusive
element of true harmonic happiness in his life.

SAYS The Midwest Book Review:
"Smith does not claim to be a saint; he confesses to the sins of his life, and
tells the true story of how he succeeded in turning himself around from the
brink. A deeply spiritual and reverent guide steeped in unwavering faith." Order Book Here!
 DO YOU KNOW. . .
That there are 5 billion people in
the world who speak 6,000 languages? Speakers of 799 languages have the New
Testament, and 2,062 languages have at least one book of the bible, but the
complete Bible has been translated into only 337.
How much we take for
granted!

What does it mean to have a
personal relationship with
Jesus Christ?
"Each of us is different by way of our genetic
code passed through our parents by the gift of God. What will work
for one person to repent or convert will not work for another. That
experience is as personal as each of our DNA strands or code--which
made
me a volatile individual much like Peter when he was Simon.
He lunged at the Roman soldier and cut off his ear much the way I
lunge at people with my temper and wit.
"God in his infinite knowledge realized I would
require a much more stern experience to repent. In essence, he knew
that the proverbial fire would have to be knocked from my butt.
He allowed me through my poor choices in life to pull the chain to
its maximum length. Just when the last link was about to give way
and pull apart, He intervened on my behalf."

But for the grace of God, Shawn Smith would
have died at the end of a rope when he was just 35 years old.

Bible Verses of the Month
"The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not
be in want.
He makes me lie down in green pastures,
he leads me beside quiet waters,
he restores my soul.
He guides me in paths of righteousness
for his name's sake.
Even though I walk
through the valley of the shadow of
death,
I will fear no evil,
for you are with me;
your rod and your staff,
they comfort me."
Psalm 23:1-4 |
I don’t know about you, but one day when I stand before God I want to be
able to say, "Lord I was honest with you in
my prayers about my fallen state and the times I fell. But I got up every
morning and fought. There were days when I tripped, stumbled, and crashed, but
I fought nonetheless."
