"In Him I Live, Move, and have my Being" - Tapa blanda

To be his second publication to the Christendom, the book is heralded for its spiritual enlightenment, enrichment and encouragement. The author has used the concepts of conformation, transformation and reformation to bring out his spiritual walk with Christ which has been quite rewarding to him and those he has ministered to. No doubt he can exclaim the satisfaction, contentment and gain as it comes from being perfected and used by his God. His intent of this literature is to make the scriptures an opened and rewarding experience with any believer who wants to commit his life and time in becoming the being God wants to create. Apparently he has learned the secret of developing an eternal perspective in the midst of his earthly problems. For he was able to live above his circumstances and rejoice even while being persecuted because of his firm grasp on who he was in Christ and where he was going. In spite of his life situations, he could write, "For in him I live, and move, and have my being." Being confident of this very thing, that He (God) which hath begun a good work in him will perform it until the day of his coming.
