Living a Transformed Life

In January 1997 Kevin West faces himself and the consequences of drifting far from his faith. Knowing that his misdeed at work will ultimately lead to imprisonment, he can only cry out to God. And God's answer is an unusual one: Adjusting in his shift from bank vice president to managing a small grocery store as he awaits legal consequences, Kevin suddenly meets a stranger. An old man in a soiled shirt and tattered pants limps into his store asking for credit to buy a few groceries. When he sees a Bible on the counter he turns the pages and begins showing Kevin startling truths from the scriptures. The stranger leaves with his groceries, but then begins visiting every day. The man's kind demeanor and discernment eventually draw the two into a friendship which not only changes the author's life but also the life of the stranger. Weaving his gripping testimony with scriptural insights, Kevin West unlocks the mystery of Christ's curious words: "The kingdom of heaven is at hand," a statement often overlooked or misunderstood. Both Kevin's testimony and his teaching show how the Lord came to earth not only to purchase our salvation, but to initiate something far greater into our lives. This book will help you understand God's desire to give you an abundant life beyond anything you ever imagined. Not only can you be liberated from fears and enslaving habits, but all your relationships with family, friends, and co-workers can be transformed.
