Close to God

About the Book

This book goes back to when I was thirteen years of age at the first testimony I had with God and until I was eighty-three. I had these testimonies, and as a result, I was able to write this book. That is why I call this book God inspired. Most of the testimonies came after I was turned around, and that was because I was close to God and he was close to me. All things were positive in all testimonies, and few are listed here with a brief description and they are as follows: “Power of God,” to feel his power; “Image of God,” to see him: “Audible Voice of God,” to hear him: “Turned Around,” to be guided by him: “Saved by the Spirit,” to retell how I was saved from drowning: “Near Accident,” to show that the Spirit saves: “My Cup,” to impart the Spirit’s blessings: “Spirit in My Heart,” to express the glory of God: “Hair Growth,” to share the result of his glory. There are many testimonies that should be revealed. If you believe in the Lord, study his word, live his word, and have a clean heart, the Lord will guide you as he has guided me in these testimonies and your soul too should be saved. He is a forgiving God because he forgave me and he turned me around. There is nothing impossible with the Lord and we should ask him for our needs. God bless you and keep you.
