The Light (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This book presents a journey towards 'The Light'. A journey to explore what, or rather, who 'The Light' is. A journey to experience 'The Light' in one's life. 'In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it'. This is who 'The Light' is. This is what 'The Light' is all about. This light is for you. The experience of Christians who recognise and live in 'The Light' transforms them into a 'whole' person. This transformation makes them strong in their spiritual lives. They become people who are loving, forgiving, merciful and above all, persons who share the Good News with their neighbour.

Autorenporträt

During the years 1990 to 1996 I was a full time missionary with 'The International Catholic Programme for Evangelization - ICPE' and have evangelized in various countries, such as Russia, Ghana, Poland, Germany, and Malta amongst others. Since 1997, I am married and am an active member of the Focolare Movement in Malta.

During the six years of my life as a missionary with ICPE', to share His Love in different countries, I did face the challenge of saying 'Yes' to Him. It was a difficult decision to make, as I had to leave everything behind: my family, my friends, giving up my job... But as I had a deep faith in Him, I told Him 'Yes'... I will follow You... trusting, that he would take care of me in all aspects of my life. That prayer of mine opened the doors for me to give my 'Yes' to Him... to follow Him.

In the following six years as a missionary, and also after that time, Jesus has always taken care of me, has always provided me with blessings and grace, and has also taken care of me financially. Through faith, and my personal relationship with Him, He has taught me how to trust Him, and how to really follow Him freely and in peace.

During my time as a missionary with 'ICPE', I recall going through different sacrifices. There were times when as a group we performed a mime in the streets of Germany and other countries, to bring forth the message of Salvation, together with our testimonies and preaching. It wasn't the first time that people watching us made fun of us, laughed at us and ridiculed us. I used to feel the pain... but during the same occasion, I would see other people receiving our message of hope and desiring Jesus... that would encourage me to keep on going spreading the Good News!

Many times, I have turned to Him in prayer for direction in life. He has always shown me the way in these situations. He has shown me what to do and what to say.

My recent experience of Jesus showing me the way, is precisely of writing Christian books. Since the early nineties when I was a missionary, I always felt this desire inside me to write books with a Christian theme. I never really understood what this meant, or maybe I did not take up the challenge at that time. Maybe, I never had the time to do it! Still, over these years I kept feeling that He wanted it from me! Since that time, it has always been in my heart... but it was never fulfilled!

My 'Yes' to take up this challenge happened in November 2...
