Book Description
One of the most asked questions growing up among friends and family, was the mystery of trying to know the meaning of life and how to fit into this world correctly. So many people want to know their purpose in life. The frustration of not understanding these valid questions can produce an overwhelming situation in our emotions. As I began to learn about Jesus and the Father God, through His Word, I was on my way to understanding myself. The first step was to be born-again. After salvation, I began to search the Word of God for answers. This allowed me to gain understanding of His plan for humanity as well as His plan my personal life. I was overwhelmed with His love for me and started to understand myself with such clarity that I decided to share some these truths with you. I believe you will be blessed with this study.Blessings!Dr. Kevin L. ZadaiFounder and President of Warrior Notes and Warrior Notes School of Ministry
