Convinced: God is not Dead and Jesus is Alive - Paperback

Our homes should be havens of love, yet demonic activity can breed conflict. At 16, I confronted the reality of evil. In a dark bathroom, I challenged the devil to reveal himself and was terrified when I saw another face beside me.

Despite growing up in a Christian home, I fell into rebellion, drug use, and even contemplated murder. I didn't realize then that God had a plan for me (Jeremiah 29:11) and that, despite my darkness, His grace was greater (Romans 5:20-21).

Through my struggles, I learned that while Satan seeks to steal, kill and destroy (John 10:10), Jesus offers abundant life. My journey taught me that God is alive, and the devil cannot prevail against Him.

Born in Stockton, California, and raised in San Franscisco, I am the second oldest of 12 siblings in a pastoral family. Once considered the black sheep, my life changed dramatically on November 28th, 1973, when I faced a choice between prison or becoming an informant after violating my parole. That night, God intervened, transforming my life and igniting my passion for ministry.

I share my testimony everywhere- on city busses, in parks, and high-crime areas like San Francisco's Tenderloin-aiming to reach lost souls with the love of Jesus. My Journey includes various jobs, from working in a doctor's office to running trucking and limousine business.

Now residing in Dallas Texas, with my wife, Linda. I remain dedicated to preaching the gospel and helping others find hope and healing. My mission is to revive the urgency of soul-winning in today's church.
