The Jouney of a Disciple

The title of the book, The Journey of a Disciple, gives an indication of the content to follow, but what was the reason for writing this history? For the last 30 years the author has kept a journal of significant events and revelations as he walked the path of divine obedience and destiny. In stating that he walked the paths of divine obedience and destiny, it must not be assumed that the writer makes any claims to perfect righteousness or superiority. Rather that he has strived as all humans do, who have a desire to obey God, to live a good life by obedience to the laws of the gospel, inasmuch as his capacity has given him power to do so. The path of a disciple is not an easy journey and has required much effort along the way.

The reader may find many entries very simple and uncomplicated because this is how they were written, the writer never intended or considered that they may ever be read by numerous others. The book will comprise of (1) The actual record of events and reflections taken directly from the journal, (2) Historical information from the authors memory to give the journal extracts context of the writer's life at the time of writing. (3)The actual recorded revelations from the Lord Jesus Christ to the author, which increase in depth and maturity over time. The dated entries which are revelations will be annotated as such to provide clarity for the reader to differentiate between journal entries and revelations. Additionally, some pictures will be inserted but sparingly. This book starts in 1992/1993 and is a direct transfer of the authors private journal; nothing has been omitted. It should be noted that there are sometimes many months without any entries and in these instances the author will provide some brief historical information to provide context.
