I have been attempting to find faith in God for some years now. I am off work today due to being very sick with a cold and started to research why some books were left out of the Bible when I came across your website, and I find I really feel good after reading and listening to your teachings.<\/p>\n
I have never written to any organization prior to this, but my heart just seemed to flow from reading your message.<\/p>\n
Anyway, I just want to thank you for lifting my head and heart. I have been very depressed recently and now I am smiling.<\/p>\n\t
It is good to hear that the lessons are useful to people such as yourself.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
