Epistles of Gratitude for Love And Contentment
()
About this ebook
This story of my life is about loneliness and a hidden fear, written as a series of frank letters (Epistles) to Jesus, which shows my origins, my bachelorhood life of sex obsession and booze going on to my adult married life of drunkenness and divorce, second marriage, unfaithfulness, and ultimately being saved.
I hope it will help people with fears, however ridiculous. I had this hidden fear of frogs that I needed to bring out and seek help with instead of acting macho. I hope it will help the lonely. I was lonely for years of my life; but didn’t know. Frequenting the best bars in town, good restaurants and theaters was the good life. I didn’t realize that I was just masking my loneliness which remained with me when I got back home. Meantime, Jesus was there all the time ready, willing and able to give me wholesome companionship.
There was a time when I did not acknowledge God; but He never left me or forsook me. He protected me; He honored me and gave me strength. I did terrible things. I was an arrogant agnostic and a drunken fornicator. I was an unfaithful husband; and a part time father. Nevertheless, I live. After 70 years of this Babylonian enslavement, He called me home. I now know peace, I know love and I enjoy being the righteous child of God through Jesus Christ.
I hope this book encourages someone to forsake the lifestyle such as I lived and come to the heavenly delight of Christianity.

INTRODUCTION
I am living proof that living a life of love is more enjoyable than a life of unbridled fornication.
I wrote this book because keeping silent about my sins deprives me of the opportunity to find psychological release.
This book will give hope to a wife, a mother, a child or someone with a similar obsession as mine.
Even though I know that God has forgiven me; even though I know that He remembers my sins no more and that He loves me unconditionally, I am not proud of my past. I shudder to think where I would be had my life been terminated then!
"…the Epistles, penned by men who had experienced a great redemption and the marvelous intellectual emancipation and quickening that came with it, were an altogether new type of literature. Their object is personal. They relate the vital truths of the resurrection era, and the fundamental principles of the new teaching, to the individual and collective life of all believers.
