Experiencing The Mighty Change
Shortly after my wife and I were married, we sat together with her family in a meeting called by her parents. In this meeting her parents announced that they no longer believed in the church in which they had raised their family. Like an earthquake, the announcement shook the faith foundations of many in the room. Over the next several months my free time was occupied by an earnest search for understanding and answers to the issues facing my family. That is when the Lord directed my wife and me to the book, Experiencing the Mighty Change.
As I read the book with an open heart, I began to see the scriptures unfold to me in a way I had not previously imagined. My eyes were being opened, and I was awakening to my awful situation. Excited about what I was learning, I wanted copies of this book. I had a faint hope of obtaining more copies by calling an old phone number inside my copy of the book, and found myself speaking with the author. He invited us over after learning that we lived only a few miles away. We quickly became very close friends with him and his wife.
Prior to the author’s passing in September 2013, we spoke about the availability of this book. He wanted the book available to as many people as would read it, at as little cost as possible (while in print he only charged the cost to print it, and often gave away his own copies). As a result, he authorized me to put the content online for people to read and print copies for themselves.
As you read, I urge you to do so prayerfully, with an open heart and real intent.
