Jeremiah 29:11 says, "'For I know the plans I have for you,' says the Lord. 'They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you hope for a future.'"

This Bible verse has come to mean so much to me. During the last year, my wife and I have had many trials in our lives. However, we know that we are not alone. Although I have always aspired to be a professional writer, this book is not something I planned. It began by writing devotions and reading them in church. This book is about my growth as a Christian. I am not a perfect Christian, as none of us are. This book will reflect that, and I hope and pray that it reaches fellow struggling sinners. It took just a year to write. And yet in many ways, it took a lifetime.
