Valuing Life

About the Book

My name is Jeffery Coll. I live in Port Matilda, Pennsylvania. I was born in Bellevue Ohio, and lived there through most of my college career. I have an older step brother named Luke, a younger sister named Emily, and a still younger brother named Jonathan. My mom is Leah Coll, and my dad is Rob Coll. I went to Indiana Wesleyan University to get my associates degree in general studies. I fi nished my degree at Penn. State University, when we moved because I had just three elective credits to fulfi ll. I’ve been a Christian since I was eight, and my family has been active in the church for many years. My mom has fi lled in as the youth leader when we were without a youth pastor, and my dad played the piano on the worship team, and was the AWANA, which stands for (approved workmen are not ashamed)commander for several years. The church has played an integral part in my life as a Christian, and it will continue to be a large part of my story for as long as I live. When I was seven, I switched schools form the public school to the catholic school. My religion homework, one day, asked me how I knew I was saved. I didn’t know, so my mom led me through the prayer of salvation, and I’ve been a Christian ever since. From that point on, I’ve been active in the church choir, and the youth group, and even preached a sermon at our church in Bellevue, OH. My life is pretty good. I live with my parents for now, but who knows when that will change. My dad’s got a good job, and we live in a quiet little neighborhood just outside of State College, PA. How did I get here? You’ll have to read the book and fi nd out for yourself.
