The goal of this book is to explain the difference between "religion" and salvation through Jesus Christ. Religion takes many forms but the saving grace of God comes in only one form; his son Jesus Christ. This book briefly explores many of these paths of religion and reveals how to take the only true path to salvation. I was born in Roanoke Virginia, raised in a blue-collar family. As a child, I watched my dad, who was a mean alcohol loving man, turn into a loving, caring father who started talking about a man named Jesus. He instilled in me that Jesus is more than a man, but a loving God who is worth putting your all into. Nothing can change a person more than serving the risen Christ. I accepted Christ at a young age, immediately knowing that I could not live my old lifestyle. I now had a voice within that told me how to live right. Despite years of rebellious living through my teen years and early twenties, the Lord brought me back to Him and I want to share with others the truths of Jesus Christ. Allen Wood
