Story Behind The Book
The author is a member of the Campus Crusade for Christ International, founded by the late Dr. Bill Bright (1921-2003), and a member of the International Charismatic Bible Ministries led by the charismatic evangelist, Oral Roberts, who recently went to be with the Lord. I am also the co-founder of EmmaDave World Outreach – a missionary focused ministry with commission to depopulate hell to populate Heaven. My ministry objective is to disciple people into God's kingdom, helping them understand their gifts, abilities, and potentials in Christ Jesus. I hope that the publication of this book will serve as the initial step towards the realization of these God-given visions. In this book, I have said it as it is. I have held nothing back. As the Bible commanded, `have nothing to do with the unfruitful deeds of darkness, but instead even expose them'. I did not try to be politically correct, either. The term “politically correct” means [being] popular or the popular accepted behavior. It entails satisfying the masses. The entities that choose not to follow this trend - popular accepted behavior - are deemed politically incorrect. Today, the old order has changed giving place to the new, popularly referred to as the new world order. In this new world order, personal integrity or individuality is frowned at, because individuals cannot be easily manipulated. Nevertheless, it is my utmost belief that the Bible has the most authoritative answers to everything pertaining to life and godliness. Hence, my primary source of reference for this book is the Bible, and because I do not pose as an intellectual, I tried as much as possible to interpret my references literally. I believe that the scripture should be interpreted, for the most part, literally unless the text indicates otherwise.
