Story Behind The Book
In 1990, I was working in a job I detested, in a marriage that was miserable, in a life that was totally beneath the promises I read in the Bible. I sought God and begged for a reason to live. I expected the situations in my life to change as my answered prayer. That is not what I received. I received words. Words began to flow from me that I was compelled to write and connect, and research. God began showing me allegories, word pictures that explained scriptures to me. The allegories made Bible verses real to me—they made God real to me. My life did not change, but my focus upon God’s words changed me. Deliverance: An Allegory of Scripture is my sharing with you the revelations that God shared with me with supporting scriptures following each poem. From my belief that God wanted me to share these revelations, I embarked on a journey to publish and promote this book myself. Miraculous doors opened to bring it to pass. Unmerited favor came to me that allowed me access to computers to write the book. A graphic artist donated his skills to typeset the book and design it’s cover. A co-worker provided an unsolicited loan to print the book, completing the five-year journey from just words to published work. Deliverance: An Allegory of Scripture is a project that God miraculously manifest.
