    About this ebook

    Recently I’ve been asking myself some sobering questions that hit at the very core of my faith in Christ. We all say we do, but do "I" really want to be like Him or is it more a case of me wanting to enjoy the benefits of having His all-inclusive wonderfulness in my life while ignoring the call to emulate Jesus? Tough questions for an almost seventy year old man to be asking of himself!

    Bill Taylor

    I believe when it comes to the topic of "faith" it's important to know the heart of the writer you are reading. Hence, a little insight. If you've perused my writings I trust you have noticed that I'm an unapologetic non-conformist thus not religious per say. In fact, my greatest concern in life is to be summarily dismissed as a "religious person". My preference? A "real person" serving "a real God" who "really loves" THE WORLD. From day one of my sojourn with God it's always been a "real or nothing" mindset. I couldn't imagine any other way to approach the journey. Admittedly, never perfect and often awkward, but that has been and continues to be the narrow road I travel. At 27 years of age Jesus literally stole my heart. I did not join a "Club". I fell in love and entered the "Kingdom" of my Lover. To me, that was as glorious and serious as it gets! While my writings may not adhere to the status quo at times, I do hope at the very least they provide stimulation for serious contemplation. Blessings to all. Bill Taylor

    Hebrews 1 - 3: The Son ( Jesus ) is the radiance of God’s glory and the exact representation of His being, sustaining all things by His powerful word. After He had provided purification for sins he sat down at the right hand of majesty in heaven.

    Recently I wrote a poem that I decided to preface this book with. I have a friend who writes a daily blog type email to a group of folks.
