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."
- Shawn Smith
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
"Come and listen, all you who fear god; let me tell you what he has done for me.
I cried out to him with my mouth; his praise was on my tongue. If I had
cherished sin in my heart, the Lord would not have listened; but God has surely
listened and heard my voice in prayer. Praise be to God, who has not rejected my
prayer or withheld his love from me.
- Psalm 66:16-20
|
The Holy Spirit calls to our soul; we have the free will to decline
or accept. You become filled with the Holy Spirit, accept Christ (renewed
person), and become closer to the Father.
- Shawn Smith
