am I a Christian?

Book Excerpts


	Please send me your comments. I really related to several people in your book. As we talked about them in our Sunday School Class, we could identify and then recognize God in our own lives. Sometimes, we get so caught up in everyday survival we go to church and say we are christians. However, by recognizing God`s work in our lives we are transformed to believers of Christ. Am I a Christian? Yes!!! I am! ~Rebecca Many of us as children have been victims of drive-by evangelism. Where someone asks you "do you want to go to heaven? then repeat this prayer". We were told as long as we could answer yes after a few questions, then we were saved.But being born again is a supernatural work of God on the inside of a person. It is a passing from death to life. It only comes about by the Power of God, on His terms, not ours! This book helps to remind us what it really meens to be saved! To God be the Glory ~Sam I`m going to order some of your books to keep on hand when someone seeks counsel for assurance of their salvation-- also just if we think they might benefit from reading it. ~Andrea We have been using your book for our Sunday School lessons the last few weeks. ~Carrie H. One of the greatest assets for me was that it was short, to the point and it makes you think. ~John I was telling our friends about you and she pulled your book out of her purse! ~Tony This is a "must read" book for all new church members and anyone who seeks to understand true salvation. ~Linda It is an easy read, and not a book that makes you feel overwhelmed. ~Sue	Do you have the peace in knowing that if you were to die in the next five minutes, you would go to heaven? “At the age of eleven, I recited a prayer following an invitation at a revival service at my home church. The pastor spoke the prayer and then I repeated it. Was I saved?” “He then led me in the “sinner’s prayer” for salvation. Nothing was untrue in what he had said; I simply didn’t have the concept of what sin was. Believing I was saved, I did what I thought was right, went to church, and tried to obey my parents.” “…I had realized that my so-called salvation had been based on head knowledge and not a true regeneration of my heart by the Holy Spirit.” “I prayed to God and asked Him to show me if I wasn’t saved. I kept feeling bad all week; I was sick to my stomach thinking about this. I never talked to anyone about it. I just kind of kept it inside. I knew God was dealing with me, but I didn’t know why.” “I became a Sunday School teacher, girls missions leader, Women’s Missions Union Director, youth teacher, and even the church clerk. But during that time, there was a void in my life, even though things were working out in my marriage and we had three more children. I continued to pray and go to church and act good on the outside, but the inside was hurting.” You may have attended church your whole life, you may be a Sunday school teacher or even a pastor. But if you do not have "the peace of God which surpasses all understanding" (Philippians 4:7) about your salvation, then please seek that peace... “If anyone approached me to ask about my salvation, I told them that yes, I was saved. I believed Jesus died for my sins. The only problem was that when the preacher would talk about the ‘peace that surpasses all understanding’, I did not feel that unexplainable, unmistakable feeling of peace.” “Several years later, we had a revival in our church and the evangelist kept asking, ‘Do you know, that you know, that you know, that you are saved?’ Well, I felt offended and almost mad at this guy….Several days after the revival ended I woke up at six thirty in the morning on November 3, 2005, with Jesus speaking to me and saying, ‘I never meant for you to have doubts. Just take Me as your personal Lord and Savior.’ At that very moment I finally got it. No more doubts. It was all so clear.”
