I think of my book as an unabridged Bible tract. Approximately 40 percent of it is Scripture. Unlike the pocket "pray the Romans road" versions, I tried to invest more explanation into those verses which point us to salvation. I give my book out to cult members that knock on my front door, co-workers, and neighbors who are atheists or come from other religions, and others in my life who do not profess Christ as their Savior.

Too many Christians have been taught that core aspects of who they are - their gender, their sexual orientation, their politics, their skepticism - prevent God from loving them fully.
