Product Description Warning: This book contains subject matter and language that is not suitable for children or those who do not understand just how dark and foreboding the human heart can become. Jesus did not come to call the righteous, but sinners; But go and learn what this means: I desire mercy, not sacrifice. For I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners. - Matthew 9:13 this is the testimony of one such sinner. This is a poetic journey from darkness to light, a journey that has been a lifetime in the making. A journey that would not be possible without the Lord Jesus Christ. About the Author W.F. Rhoads lives in Natural Bridge Station, Va with his wife Dodie and their Jack Russell terriers, Petey and Lilly. He is the father of 3 married daughters (Erin, Erika and Eileen) and the grandfather of 3 grandsons (Adam, Fred and Wyatt) and 3 granddaughters (Rachel, Holly and Hannah)."In addition to salvation and eternal life, everything that I have, everything that I am, everything that I ever will be, I owe to the Lord Jesus Christ. Without His love and grace this story would be meaningless, just as life (any life) is meaningless without Him. All mankind owes Him more than can ever be repaid."
