Two Faces, One Life: The Journey Within

This is not a normal manuscript. We logically prove that God Is, it is impossible to sin against God, Hell does not exist, Heaven is our true Reality, and we are human beings transcending to our true nature as Christ Beings. If God exists, can He make something He cannot lift? If God is all powerful, He can lift anything, yet if He is all knowing He can make something He cannot lift. The answer to this paradox is in our manuscript.This autobiography is an accumulation of over 15 years of writings. I'm 71 and have experienced many wonderful, beautiful, educational, and enlightening moments. I've also endured the dark night of the soul where nothing means anything, all hope...

All information is factually verified utilizing the Microsoft Bing Search Engine. I performed one hundred and seventy-seven re-edits and published four other times with different titles. The editing of the thirty-four opening pictures and four embedded videos was an immense task due to the file extensions required by numerous retail channels.
