In my years of being a Christian from 1993, I've seen many things in church leadership that led to members of their church not only leaving their church, but leaving God altogether. Every church I've been a member of has been guilty of the contents of this book. Christ is speaking to His church and desires major changes to how church leaders handle His people. Every backslidden Christian needs to read this book if you left the church because of church leadership. Be restored to Christ today and learn how to navigate within any church fellowship.

Instead of making amends, they relied on deceitful tactics and propaganda, consistently defending the same principles and values that had inflicted immense suffering and hardship upon their people. This aspect is crucial in all political systems and structures that are centered around a specific ideology and set of beliefs.This narrative tells the life story of an individual who, like many others, courageously endangered their life in pursuit of peace and freedom, while confronting a ruthless and oppressive regime.May his life and ideals serve as a guiding light for all individuals who endure hardship and strive for freedom.
