How the Soul Was Won is truly a work of God. It is his message to the world to let all people know how valuable they are. It is also a detailed description of how God has planned to win every soul through love and grace. It is my personal desire, through humility, that you understand I am the messenger of God.How the Soul Was Won is a byproduct of my many years of ministry as a pastor and a chaplain. What that means will be evidenced in some of the stories and events that have occurred for over twenty-five years. Many of these events that occurred I was as astonished as the patient, the parishioner, and the fellow servant involved. Therefore, this is a book about the Triune presence of God working in ways that is sometimes unknown to humanity to bless his people. This is not a book about theology, doctrinal standards, and who is right in the eyes of God. It is rather about the righteous nature of God, looking after his people through love and grace to transform the lost to the found, the sick to the well, the unhappy to the happy, and the few to the multitudes. From the beginning, God has planned to win your soul. The sooner we know this, the better we live.It has been my intention to share with this audience that soul winning is the work of God the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit through grace and love. This is God's victory, and you, me, and the whole world are the benefactors. We are children of God. This is a process where God deals with many circumstances of our lives for victory over them. And when each stage is won, it's onto the next stage to produce the peace that passes all understanding. I am hoping this book has at least a two-fold use: to read and discern your own transformation and, second, to pull back off the shelf when chaos of the world tries to challenge your faith, peace, and strength.
