Wow...this book really helps you in life....

This book teaches you of ten people and there life experience in the world of being Adventist. Some of them had been born in a Christian home and some weren't. They all had to go through difficulties though. For example, Lee Ann. She grew up in a Christian home with her grandma, and mom. When she got to be eighteen years old she got married and thought that getting married was going to end up being fun. They went to Atlanta city and there they went to casinos and people thought she was twenty-one so they let her drink and play card games. She later started having marriage problems and so she gave up on her husband on inviting him to church because his mom had a very big influence on him that whatever the mom said he would do. She moved to an apartment and lived with a man named Fred, that wasn't her husband. Of course, the people at church eventually found out. The only time a pastor or an elder from the church came to her house was to tell her that her name was going to be removed from the name book of the church. She agreed because there was nothing she could do. The pastor told her mom and her mom said to him that they might as well take out all of the names out of the book because they had all committed sins also. So the Pastor decided not to take out her name because of that. She got into drinking and smoking and Fred didn't care at all. She got paranoid about her ex-husband. He was harassing her and following her everywhere. She felt like all the time that he was following her and so she would always turn around to see if he was behind her. The worst thing was that the police men wouldn't do anything about it. She got married to Fred and after that she started to think of their future kids. She said she wanted to take them to a Christian school, take them to church, and for them to have a knowledge of God. When she told Fred about that he didn't mind. He thought of it as a good idea. So when she had kids she took them to church and when she walked in there she felt like if the where all welcoming her with there arms fully open. That gave her the feeling of her wanting to come again and again.So then her husband got baptized in a very cool way. He told Lee Ann that there children would be confused if they saw him going to a Catholic church and her in a different church. So he decided to take bible studies. Then he was convinced that he was wrong and that the SDA church was the best for him and his family. So he got baptized with her. They both knew that being at that church and holding to Gods hand would make a difference in their life.There's more of these exciting stories that I recommend you.It shows how not to fall in the same mistakes that those people fell in. So I grade this book as an excellent book.
